Independent media is under attack. The GOP’s latest budget proposal seeks to strip PBS of its federal funding, threatening to silence the only network committed to providing fact-based, nonpartisan journalism and high-quality educational programming.
PBS isn’t just a television network, it’s a cornerstone of American democracy. Its investigative reporting and local news coverage provide a vital counterbalance to disinformation and propaganda. For millions of families, PBS is a lifeline to early childhood education and cultural programming free from corporate agendas.
These budget cuts are not about saving money, they are about silencing dissent. Figures like Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, and Elon Musk have made it clear they see PBS’s independence as a threat.
This is an attack on truth, education, and every American’s access to reliable, fact-based information. But this isn’t the first time PBS has faced these kinds of threats. And every time, the American people have stepped up to defend it.
Together, we can ensure Congress rejects these reckless cuts and reaffirms its commitment to preserving independent media. Sign the petition now to protect PBS and preserve the free press!
PBS matters. From "Sesame Street" to award-winning journalism, it provides access to essential services that educate, inform, and inspire — no matter your zip code or income level. Defunding PBS would disproportionately harm rural and underserved communities that rely on its programming for connection and information.
When public broadcasting loses funding, corporate interests fill the gap, skewing programming toward profits over the public good. That’s why stopping these cuts is about safeguarding democracy itself.
This is our fight to win. Every voice raised, every name added to this petition, sends a powerful message: We won’t let partisan politics dictate our access to truth.
Add your name now to protect PBS from billionaire attacks and GOP budget cuts!
Together, we can defend independent media and democracy.
