Quick signature needed: House voted to save the Postal Service. Now the Senate must follow

Friend, on August 22, the House of Representatives [voted]( 257-150 to pass an emergency bill that provides $25 billion for the United States Postal Service (USPS). The funds will allow USPS to continue operations uninterrupted, and will reverse Republican mega-donor Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's blatant sabotage. Now it's time for our senators to do their jobs by returning from recess, and ensuring post offices across the country can continue delivering our mail without further delay.

Twenty-six Republicans joined Democrats to pass the bill in a much needed rebuke of Donald Trump. DeJoy has been dismantling the Postal Service for months by curtailing overtime, restricting deliveries, eliminating sorting machines, and removing mailboxes. As a result, millions of Americans — especially low-income communities, incarcerated people, Black, brown, and Indigenous people, seniors, and people with disabilities — who rely on the mail to receive their prescription medications, paychecks, and unemployment benefits, to pay their rent and utilities, to run their small businesses, to vote, and more have suffered. The United States Postal Service provides absolutely crucial services for Americans nationwide and is a critical function of our democracy. Congress has a responsibility to protect it. The House has done its job. Now it's time for the Senate to do theirs.
