HELP PROTECT
OUR MAIL.
The U.S. Postal Service – the only courier able to reach every American — has been raising postage twice each year at amounts far above inflation — all while making the mail slower and unreliable.
As part of Louis DeJoy's Delivering for America plan, there have been six postage increases since August of 2021 — with a huge increase planned for this July.
Postmaster General DeJoy may be gone, but his plan is still being implemented and is destroying the mail, hurting consumers, and compromising the nearly 8 million American jobs that depend on USPS. If we don’t stop these destructive rate hikes, the price of a stamp could be $1.19 by 2030.
Congress must take action to stop USPS mismanagement — and you can help support the new legislation we need!
A new bill called “The USPS Services Enhancement and Regulatory Viability Expansion and Sustainability for the U.S. Act” (USPS SERVES US Act), empowers USPS regulators (the Postal Regulatory Commission, or PRC) to stop USPS decisions that are hurting its ability to serve the American people and driving it into financial ruin.
Please take a moment to send an email to your member of Congress and encourage them to support the USPS SERVES US Act (H.R. 3004). It only takes a moment to make a difference.
The way we greet one another is in danger of being lost.
WHY?
Mail is getting more expensive.
The cost of first-class mail and “forever stamps”are increasing at an unprecedented rate.
Charities and other nonprofits, magazines, community newspapers, and catalogs are facing even bigger postage hikes, which stand to drive some out of business.
Businesses generate 90% of USPS revenue, so less mail in the system means prices will eventually keep going up, no matter what.
Mail is moving slower for everyone.
The U.S. Postal Service is delaying service, even as we continue to grapple with COVID-19. Americans across the country are taking notice.
Starting in October, the one- to three-day service standard for first class mail officially became to one-to -five days.
For many Americans, especially in rural areas, it still is a lifeline and always has been.
