Urge Congress to Save Public Media

Written By Rachel Yap

Public media is a trusted source of local news, emergency alerts, and educational programming — and it only costs taxpayers about $1.60 per person each year. But now it’s under attack. The White House has proposed eliminating federal funding for public media, issued an Executive Order to block support for PBS and NPR, and is trying to claw back funding that Congress already approved.
 
Defunding or restricting funds for public media wouldn’t just disrupt these services — it could force stations to shut down entirely, especially in rural and underserved areas, leaving millions of Americans without access to these essential resources.
