Hello,
We’re now at 1.1 million+ in support of saving the USPS, which is absolutely amazing - thank you.
It’s encouraging to see so much support for the USPS - especially now.
There have been reports of mail slow down and yesterday (8/7), Louis DeJoy restructured leadership at the USPS.

It was my intention to raise awareness that the USPS needed help when I started this petition 4 months ago. The overwhelming support for the USPS has been astounding, to say the least. Not only on this petition but others I see online as well.
I'd also like to highlight HR2382 again in this update, a bill that repeals the requirement that the U.S. Postal Service annually prepay future retirement health benefits. Please contact your representative after reviewing it if you agree and would like to show your support.
The USPS is the backbone of our communication in this country that connects us all. It couldn't be more important during a once in a century pandemic in a pivotal election year. Thank you again for taking the time to sign this petition and I hope you'll let a friend of family member know the USPS needs our help.
Take care out there.
