It's a new year. We have a new season of Downton Abbey (YES!). We will have a new season of Serial (CAN’T WAIT!) this year. We also have a new Congress. And we have your no fail New Year’s resolution: protect public media in 2015. 

Why should you make protecting public media your New Year’s resolution?

Yesterday, lawmakers came to Washington, D.C. to begin the new Congress. Soon, they’ll start to make important decisions that will impact your public radio and television stations.

It’s critical that we have as many public media supporters as possible pledge to protect the stations and programs that educate, inform and inspire their communities.
