Urge Congress: Save Public Media
Public media is in danger. The Senate will vote on the House-passed Rescissions Act this week, which would eliminate $1.1 billion in already-approved funding for public media. If enacted, it would strip essential services from communities nationwide — and could force rural stations off the air entirely.
Changes to the bill are still possible. Now is the time to urge your Senators to remove the proposal targeting public media from the package.
Ways To Take Action
Federal funding ensures that your local public radio and TV stations can continue to give you access to essential educational, local, and cultural programming; trustworthy, in-depth news; and emergency and community-based services. Here are three things you can do today to keep public media strong.
