Make sure POTUS's USPS Board nominees will undo DeJoy's damage!

The United States Postal Service’s promise of universal service and public ownership has been eroded under the leadership of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and USPS Board of Governors Chairman Ron Bloom.
With President Biden’s decision not to re-nominate Bloom as Chair, we have an opportunity to reaffirm the promise of universal service and public ownership that has been the hallmark of the USPS’ enduring popularity.
As the U.S. Senate considers President Biden’s nominees to fill the two vacancies on the USPS Board of Governors, please get firm commitments that, if confirmed, the nominees will take the following steps to protect our public Postal Service:
—Reverse the postal slowdown that was formalized this year
—Commit to prioritizing election mail, including ballots, registration forms, and absentee requests
—Expand the postal banking pilot program to provide more banking services to more unbanked or underbanked communities
—Seek to expand existing postal infrastructure into a community hub for services, rather than shutting down or privatizing aspects of it
—Maintain the USPS as a source of good, living wage jobs for our communities
—Provide real oversight to Postmaster General DeJoy’s financial conflicts of interest
It’s critical that every member of USPS leadership remain committed to our Postal Service. Please make sure that Biden’s nominees will. Thanks.
