Sign the petition: DeJoy and Musk team up to slash the USPS

TELL CONGRESS: DOGE is slashing 10,000 jobs at the U.S. Postal Service. And that's just the start of Musk's work at USPS. All while Trump is plotting an illegal takeover of the Post Office. Sign the petition: Stop DOGE, Musk, and Trump from destroying the USPS! ADD YOUR NAME Harris, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced that he'll be working with Elon Musk's DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) to cut 10,000 postal worker jobs and slash the USPS budget.1 This comes shortly after Trump and his billionaire Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, unveiled their plan for an illegal full takeover of the U.S. Postal Service.2 DeJoy, Musk, Trump, and DOGE are all teaming up in an effort to privatize and destroy a service that all Americans use. USPS workers will lose their jobs, consumers will pay higher prices, and small businesses will struggle to keep up. Sign the petition: Don't let DOGE, Musk, and Trump destroy the U.S. Postal Service! ADD YOUR NAME If Trump succeeds in his plan, he could hand the Post Office over to corporate executives for the sole purpose of making the rich even richer. And if DeJoy and DOGE get their way, the USPS will provide worse service while jacking up prices. Gutting the Post Office especially threatens rural communities, Indigenous communities, seniors, and veterans who rely on affordable, reliable mail service for prescriptions, voting, and much more. The USPS is America's lifeline, delivering to every corner of the nation. We cannot let Trump and Musk tear it down, sell it for parts, and place it into the hands of Wall Street billionaires. Sign the petition: Urge members of Congress to stand against any DOGE cuts and Trump's USPS takeover plan!
