Urge Congress: Protect Public Media Funding
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, cancelled 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.
We must urge Congress to protect and sustain the essential funding that keeps public media strong and accessible for all. Send a message to your lawmakers now.
Public media is not just another media outlet – it’s a lifeline for communities nationwide. For just about $1.60 per person annually, federal funding supports more than 1,500+ public media stations’ local services, ensuring that all Americans can access life-saving emergency information, proven educational resources for children and families, cultural enrichment, community engagement, and local journalism.
Your voice matters. Contacting your Members of Congress now will demonstrate the full force of grassroots support for public media and help protect the funding that powers these vital services.
Take action now by sending a message to your lawmakers today – together, we can make a difference.
