👏Last week @USPS committed to forego a stamp price increase in January 2025. C21 released a statement commending USPS for taking a positive step toward ensuring a reliable, affordable postal system for everyone. 📬Read the full statement: https://t.co/3qPXSMnk1W

How can Congress save our Postal System?

• Consider strengthening regulatory oversight
• Require the return of USPS overpayments to the CSRS Fund
• Continue with in-depth oversight of DFA results to date and prospects

The USPS is in crisis: poor service, rising prices, declining volume and $6.5B losses last year.

This threatens rural America, small businesses, charities, and millions reliant on USPS.

How can Congress help sustain USPS, a public service that has tied our nation together for nearly 250 years?

The FY 2024 mail pricing increase represents a 195% inflation rate over the three years since the start of the DFA’s plan.

Congress needs to take action. The future of America’s postal system hangs in the balance.

[Coalition for a 21st Century Postal Service @C21Postal]

Congress should limit rate increases to one per year to help maintain an affordable shipping solution for all.

USPS is a lifeline for Rural America.

+40M lack broadband, relying on USPS for bills, catalogs & more. Plus USPS is the ONLY package service for rural areas.

USPS projects losing another $16B this year & next. If this rate of loss continues, the USPS as we know it, and its long-time value to the American public, may be in question.

USPS must remain a sustainable, effective and vital network for the country.

In FY 2023, postal volume was at its lowest in more than 40 years. Without change from Congress, the unsettling numbers will continue, calling this fundamental public service into question.

It’s up to Congress to get the USPS back on track.

The @USPS stability is in doubt. Our Executive Director calls on Congress for support in @PostOpinions.

“We urge Congress to better invest Postal Service funds & strengthen regulatory oversight to preserve the Postal Service’s viability & sustainability."

We join @SenGaryPeters & other members of Congress in calling on the Board of Governors of the U.S. Postal Service to reassess the DFA plan.

[Coalition for a 21st Century Postal Service @C21Postal]

Businesses reliant on mail are very concerned about the state of the @USPS.
📭 Service is dramatically below targets
💵 Prices have gone up 6 times in less than 3 years, pushing out mail

This situation is unaffordable & unsustainable.

[Coalition for a 21st Century Postal Service @C21Postal]

It's become clear -- the @USPS’ Delivering for America Plan (DFA) hasn't improved service or reduced costs.

Our Coalition is calling for a temporary pause to reassess the DFA, repair service & reconsider the unsustainable pace and size of rate increases.

The @USPS is at an inflection point. It’s up to Congress to help get it back on solid footing.

Today’s @HSGAC & @HSGAC_GOP Postal Service Oversight hearing is an important opportunity to ask hard questions.

This holiday is expected to be the biggest shopping season yet. Underpinning most of it is the @USPS.

As recent financial results revealed, however, the @USPS' stability is in doubt. To shore up this essential service Americans depend on, the US needs Congress to act.

[Coalition for a 21st Century Postal Service @C21Postal]

Businesses big & small depend on the @USPS to deliver their products to Americans throughout the US.

As the @WSJ points out: “The U.S. Postal Service is still the biggest parcel service by volume.”

But the @USPS needs more support & Congress can help.

“The @USPS is an engine for America’s economy & a lifeline for rural Americans across the country. As we head into the holiday shipping season, though, postal costs and prices are increasing much faster than businesses and consumers can keep up." - Executive Director Art Sackler

The U.S. Postal Service is in the midst of a 10-year plan aimed at erasing losses and eventually turning a profit. But in its last fiscal year, the agency reported a loss of $6.5 billion, a major step backward. https://t.co/aoZ9Jbj0W5
