Urge Congress: Save Public Media
Public media is more at risk now than ever before. Despite overwhelming public opposition, the House passed a rescissions package that 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.
The Senate will vote on the rescissions package next week, and changes are still possible. Now is the time to urge them to remove the proposal targeting public media from the package.
Ways To Take Action
