An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Defend USPS independence and free elections

32 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

The United States Postal Service plays a critical role in facilitating free and fair elections by processing mail-in ballots for millions of Americans. President Trump's reported plan to dissolve the USPS leadership through an executive order and place the agency under the control of the Department of Commerce raises grave concerns about potential interference in mail voting and undermines a foundational democratic institution. This proposal represents an alarming overreach of executive power that defies the Postal Reorganization Act's clear mandate for an independent Postal Service governed by a bipartisan Board of Governors. Stripping away this structural independence opens the door for partisan manipulation that could disenfranchise countless voters relying on mail ballots and shake public faith in electoral integrity. I urge you to take immediate action to block this unconstitutional executive order and safeguard the Postal Service's autonomy as an independent establishment of the executive branch. Upholding democratic norms and the sanctity of our elections must be a paramount priority. The American people deserve to have their voices heard and their votes counted without interference. Resolve to defend the Postal Service's independence and the integrity of our electoral process.
