The US Mail Not for Sale is a worker-led campaign sponsored by the American Postal Workers Union. The campaign brings together labor unions, elected officials, member organizations of A Grand Alliance to Save Our Public Postal Service, community supporters and the public to fight plans to sell the public Postal Service to the highest bidder.
Our goal is to preserve affordable, universal mail service for all – without regard to where they live, age, nationality, income, or race.
Once again, the Postal Service faces an existential challenge to its mission to “bind the nation together.”
From 2018-21, we successfully pushed back the administration’s attempts to sell off our public Postal Service for private profit. Together, we ensured the Postal Service kept delivering through the pandemic. With that momentum, we organized to win monumental postal reform legislation in 2022. But now we face a new threat – an illegal takeover of the USPS by the White House and a threat to sell some or all off to the highest bidder.
Such a move would raise prices, lead to service cuts, and threaten the very concept of mail and package services at one affordable price for everyone regardless of where they live – a dagger aimed at the heart America, especially rural communities and the elderly who depend on the mail for prescriptions. It also would disrupt e-commerce.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is the only federal agency enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. Our goal is to preserve affordable, universal mail service for all – without regard to where they live, age, nationality, income, or race. It belongs to the people of this country. Let’s do whatever it takes to keep it for generations to come!
