Tell Senators: Confirm Biden's nominees so they can fire Louis DeJoy!
Petition to Senators:
We urge you to confirm Daniel Tangherlini and Derek Kan, President Biden's two new nominees to the Postal Board of Governors, so they can quickly take up their posts and help fire Louis DeJoy. The damage to our postal service has gone on long enough. Do not delay these crucial confirmations!
At long last, the end is finally in sight for Louis DeJoy's destructive tenure as Postmaster General.
DeJoy has gutted the Post Office, causing huge problems with mail delivery while helping implement Trump's agenda. We can’t afford to let DeJoy stay at the USPS -- new leadership is needed as soon as possible!
President Biden just announced two crucial nominations to the USPS Board of Governors. If the Senate confirms them, we’ll have the majority we need to fire Louis DeJoy.1
Tell Senators: Confirm President Biden's Postal Board of Governors nominees so they can fire fire Louis DeJoy and save the Postal Service!
One audit shows that before DeJoy's tenure, 92 percent of mail was delivered on time. But by the fall of 2020, only 80 percent was delivered on time. And by January of 2021, it was just above 60 percent!
As Congresswoman Katie Porter put it when she pulled out her famous whiteboard to shred DeJoy in a recent hearing, "60 percent is at best a D-minus. The Postal Service delivers 48 percent of the world's mail. It is an institution, it is a civic treasure...we let it get all the way down to that D-minus level."2
On-time mail delivery is critical for so many of our community members. Seniors are forced to pay bills before receiving their Social Security checks. Veterans have to wait, and perhaps even go without, critical prescriptions. And, it can lead to us feeling even more disconnected from our loved ones in a time when it's easy to feel isolated.
The good news is that President Biden's nominees can fire DeJoy and turn around the postal service. But the Senate needs to confirm them, and time is running out.
Sign the petition: Confirm replacements to the USPS Board of Governors so that they can expel DeJoy and save the USPS!
