There’s a new Congress, but our message is as urgent as ever: protect public media funding! With 70+ newly elected lawmakers, a critical funding deadline on March 14, and new calls to defund public media, now is the time to make our voices heard! With multiple threats to funding on the horizon, we must urge every lawmaker to continue the vital investments that keep public media strong and accessible for all. Send your message now.

Public media is not just another media outlet or channel – it’s a lifeline for communities across the country. Federal funding, amounting to just $1.60 per person annually, safeguards access to 1,500+ local public media stations and their essential services. These investments ensure everyone has access to life-saving emergency information, proven educational resources for children and families, cultural enrichment, community engagement, and local journalism.

Your voice is essential to ensuring this indispensable service inform, enrich, and connect the places we call home. Reaching Members of Congress now and demonstrating the full force of public media’s grassroots support can make a powerful impact on their funding decisions.
