Public media is not just another channel, it’s a lifeline for communities across the country. Your advocacy can ensure that this indispensable service continues to thrive.

The President’s Fiscal Year 2025 budget request recommends increasing Corporation for Public Broadcasting funding and maintaining essential support for other public media grant programs. Now, we need Congress to match this commitment.

As Congress defines its own budget agenda in the weeks ahead, your outreach can significantly impact our effort to secure essential resources to sustain and strengthen public media for generations to come. Enter your information and follow the prompts to urge your Members of Congress to support the President’s budget proposals.

For about $1.60 per person each year, more than 1,500 locally operated public radio and television stations deliver a wealth of trusted local journalism, researched-based educational children’s media resources and learning experiences, cultural enrichment, and crucial alerts and warnings to virtually every corner of our country.

Together, we can ensure that public media remains a vibrant and vital public service for Americans of all ages. Email your Members of Congress now.
