Keep the USPS independent

The U.S. Postal Service is an essential public service that must remain independent and accessible to all Americans. Trump's attempted takeover by illegally firing the Postal Board is a blatant abuse of power that threatens mail-in voting, veterans' jobs, and affordable mail delivery – especially in rural areas. Over 635,000 workers, including nearly 100,000 military members and veterans, rely on USPS employment. Privatization could lead to significant price hikes, post office closures, and slower mail service. Congress must act urgently to investigate Trump's efforts, hold public hearings on the next Postmaster General, and use the federal budget to block any attempts at restructuring or privatizing USPS. The Postal Service's independence and affordability for every community must be preserved.
