Fire Postmaster General Louis DeJoy
USPS Board of Governors
If you’ve noticed that your mail is arriving later and later, you’re not alone -- and under Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s leadership, things could soon get much worse.
DeJoy is further slowing down first-class mail delivery, reducing Post Office hours, and raising postage prices -- which will impact voters, families, and small businesses in several states. [1]
You may remember DeJoy as the GOP mega-donor that was hand-picked by Donald Trump to run the USPS. He spent most of 2020 trying to sabotage this vital public service -- imposing outrageous restrictions on postal workers, removing mailboxes by the truckload, and more -- in service of Trump’s plot to silence mail-in voters during the presidential election.
Even though Trump is no longer president, the threat that he and DeJoy pose to our Postal Service remains. And unless we take action, DeJoy will remain Postmaster General for -- in his words -- “a long time,” [2] calling the shots for the very agency he has tried to destroy.
Here’s what those of us who care about the USPS can do: President Biden’s nominees for the USPS Board of Governors -- which has the authority to fire DeJoy -- were confirmed by the Senate, potentially giving the Board a more reform-minded majority. But as of now, the Board hasn't made any commitments either way about DeJoy’s future at the USPS.
We must make sure the Board knows that customers like you and me are outraged by DeJoy’s attacks on the Postal Service -- and that we demand he is fired and replaced. Add your name today to join the nationwide outcry.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is doing all he can to destroy the Postal Service. In 2020, he was a major player in ex-President Trump’s plot to silence mail-in voters by sabotaging the USPS -- and even now that President Biden has taken office, DeJoy is still trying to gut this vital public service.
Families, voters, and small businesses across the country are relying on the Postal Service right now -- and we cannot let DeJoy do them any more harm. To save our Postal Service, the USPS Board of Governors must fire Louis DeJoy and replace him immediately.
