Congress Must Act Now: Save the U.S. Postal Service Before It’s Too Late

The U.S. Postal Service remains a vital lifeline for millions, but missteps under former Postmaster General Louis DeJoy have left it vulnerable. Despite DeJoy’s resignation in spring, his controversial “Delivering for America” plan continues to impact operations negatively. With sharp postage rate hikes and slower delivery, mailing has become unaffordable for everyday Americans and businesses alike. Customer trust is eroding under a strategy set to last a decade. Congress has taken action, removing pre-funding mandates and saving the USPS billions. Yet, DeJoy’s policies are still active, raising concerns about the Postal Service’s future. That’s where the newly introduced **USPS SERVES US Act** comes in—proposed legislation aimed at curbing further rate increases and restoring reliable service. Preserving the Postal Service isn’t just policy—it’s a public necessity. Congress must step up and fully support reforms that safeguard affordable, efficient mail service for all communities across the United States.
