The Trump administration's plans to potentially privatize the United States Postal Service are deeply concerning. Privatization could harm consumers through increased costs and slower service, as the postal workers union has warned. This vital public service should not be treated as a for-profit business venture. The USPS provides affordable and reliable mail delivery to every community nationwide, including many rural and underserved areas where private carriers may not operate. Maintaining the USPS as a public institution is crucial for ensuring equal access and reasonable pricing for all Americans. I urge you to firmly oppose any efforts to privatize our mail service and instead work to strengthen and modernize the USPS while preserving its public, universal mandate. The nationwide protests underscore the broad public support for protecting this invaluable civic resource.
