Public media faces an uncertain future. With the current continuing resolution set to expire on March 14, Congress will be making critical decisions that could impact the future of public media. At the same time, growing threats to funding put access to essential local services at risk.

That’s why we’re mobilizing on Thursday, March 6, 2025, for Protect My Public Media Day – a national day of action to celebrate and defend public media. This one-day virtual event will unite public media supporters, stations, and organizations to:

• Highlight the critical role of local stations in delivering life-saving information, vital local journalism, proven educational resources for children and families, and experiences that bring us together.
• Ignite a national conversation about the value of public media.
• Share personal stories about how public media has shaped lives and take action to ensure its future.

Pledge to participate. By pledging to take part in Protect My Public Media Day, you commit to speaking up for public media – whether by sharing your personal experience or urging lawmakers to protect its funding. Once you submit the pledge, you will receive specific information about how you can participate.

With federal funding decisions on the horizon, your voice has never been more important. Stand with us on March 6 to protect the future of public media!
