Become a cosponsor of HR 7018, the Green Postal Fleet Act, now!

As I’m sure you know, the U.S. Postal Service finalized plans in February to purchase up to 148,000 mail delivery trucks from Oshkosh Defense, 90% of them, powered by gasoline fueled combustion engines expected to get 8 miles per gallon. I’m sure you also know that DeJoy is using non-union workers to build these trucks. Louis DeJoy’s decision to sign a $11.3 billion contract for non-union built trucks with the fuel efficiency of a Hummer is disastrously bad management, and it directly defies the Biden administration objections that the multibillion-dollar contract would undercut the nation’s climate goals. I’m asking you to become a cosponsor of HR 7018, the Green Postal Fleet Act, to block Dejoy’s bad deal and demand any USPS contract for new trucks include a mandatory requirement for at least 75% electric vehicles. The climate crisis won’t wait for action. I will be watching how you vote on this, please don’t let our country down.
