Public media is facing multiple serious threats. The Administration has proposed eliminating federal funding in its annual budget request, issued an Executive Order to block support for PBS and NPR, canceled grants that support the creation of children’s educational programs, and plans to claw back funding approved by Congress. Together, these actions would immediately devastate your local stations.
Before it’s too late, we must send a strong and urgent message: Americans overwhelmingly value and depend on public media for unparalleled local news, life-saving public emergency alerts, lifelong learning, cultural enrichment, and connection.
Email your lawmakers now and urge them to oppose efforts to claw back federal funding for public media – and to support full funding moving forward.
