Emails for USPS Board of Governors further down thread.
#StopDeJoy #SaveThePostOffice

“I’ve represented Boards as a lawyer, and I know “this kind of attention is not what they’ve signed up for.”
“None of the members wants to suffer reputational damage from overseeing the meltdown of USPS during a pandemic. They do NOT want to be in the spotlight, so SHINE IT BRIGHT!”
· “Board members HATE being contacted, HATE having their phone mailboxes fill up with messages, HATE being inundated with emails and letters. And, oh, they would HATE being picketed at work, if someone decided to start a demonstration.”
“be polite but firm about my fury about the recent deterioration of USPS’s service, giving personal & family examples regarding medication & veterans services, & expressing my distrust of & dissatisfaction with the performance of PG DeJoy. In my experience, rudeness NEVER helps.
Call & email each of the 6 USPS Board of Governors.

Tell them who & what you are (a retiree? Veteran?), what you & family rely on the USPS for in this pandemic, how DeJoy’s changes are disrupting that & causing stress. Express worry about Vote-by-Mail.
Here’s my email:

I am writing to express my outrage over recent changes to the postal service. Donald Trump has admitted that he wants to sabotage voting by mail because he fears losing the election.
The only thing more unbelievable than the sheer gall of the president openly sabotaging our democracy is the number of officials, elected and unelected, who appear only too happy to let him do it. No less unconscionable is the collateral damage of crippling the post office:
essential medicines undelivered, small businesses unable to function, and other disruptions to American life during a pandemic that has already left everyone vulnerable and destabilized.
I urge you to act immediately to reverse the slowdowns in service, reductions in equipment,
and all similar measures. Donald Trump and Louis DeJoy want to suppress votes. They are attacking our democracy; they have admitted as much. You are in a unique position to deflect this attack. Please be a patriot on the right side of history.
