President Obama said we cannot let attacks against the Postal Service go unchallenged. That's why we're committed to this fight. The Senate is back from recess. We need to put pressure on Mitch McConnell to pass the Delivering for America Act, a bill with $25 billion in funding for the USPS.
President Obama has been vocal on this issue because making sure everyone can vote during a public health emergency is a key step to securing fair maps for the next decade.

Subject: My thoughts on the Postal Service
Diane,
Protecting the right to vote is one of the strongest ways we can make sure everyone's voice is heard -- especially right now, while some of those in power are discouraging voting.
Let me be clear, the right to vote shouldn't be a partisan issue. And voting by mail shouldn't, either. Voting by mail will be critical to efforts to make sure that voting is safe during the pandemic. So right now, everyone should be able to request an absentee ballot and feel confident that their vote will be counted.
But we're seeing an unprecedented attempt to undermine the U.S. Postal Service at a time when more Americans than ever will need to use mail-in ballots.
This isn't a coincidence.
And that's why more than 35,000 All On The Line supporters have called for congressional action to save the Postal Service. As All On The Line helps drive more grassroots calls, emails, and tweets demanding senators support essential funding for the USPS, will you chip in to support these accountability efforts? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately. These attacks on our postal service -- a constitutionally established public good -- are just another form of voter suppression. And we can't let it go unchallenged.
