For 250 years, the U.S. Postal Service has been a public, self-funded agency that processes, sorts, and delivers essential mail to every address, no matter where you live. In the U.S., postal correspondence remains one of the most secure and resilient forms of communication.

The USPS we all rely on for our letters, medications and parcels, has come under threat. On February 20, the Washington Post reported that the President would issue an Executive Order firing the postal Board of Governors, the Postmaster General and placing the USPS under the control of the Commerce Department and its billionaire Secretary Howard Lutnick. These efforts have since been confirmed by the President, in an effort to take us one step closer to privatization.

Privatization of the public Postal Service, in whole or in part, will lead to higher prices and reduced services. Privatization would also spell the elimination of living-wage union jobs for workers from all walks of life, including more than 70,000 military veterans. Good jobs build stronger communities.

On March 20, we’re taking action from coast to coast with the message “Hands off Our Public Postal Service-- U.S. Mail is Not For Sale.”
