James,
Trump’s attacks on our independent media and basic right to freedom of
speech are growing by the day. But we will not be silent. We must
dissent!
[ [link removed] ]Bernie is warning us
Bernie is sounding the alarm as Trump doubles down, coming after one news
outlet after the next when he doesn’t like their coverage. First it was
ABC, which settled a defamation case Trump brought for a shocking $16
million. Then he began taking clear steps to gut PBS and NPR. And now he’s
in settlement talks with CBS after suing when he didn’t like how 60
Minutes edited an interview with Kamala Harris.
It’s not hard to see what’s happening here and it's straight out of an
authoritarian playbook: Trump is coming after the First Amendment.
If Trump can silence anyone who dares to report the truth, he’ll be free
to spread all the lies and disinformation he likes. All while making
billions pushing the platforms he and his tech oligarch cronies own.
[ [link removed] ]It’s terrifying, but our Citizen Action team is already hard at work
lobbying Congress to put an end to these attacks. Will you chip in to help
us protect freedom of speech and save NPR, PBS, and the rest of our
independent media from Trump?

Trump’s hold on the media was already chilling enough. During the
election, we saw billionaire owners of The Washington Post and Los Angeles
Times halt opinion pieces that were critical of Trump or supportive of
Harris.
But now he’s tightening his grip even more. Last week, Fox News refused to
air an ad from a Democratic group criticizing Trump’s federal spending
freeze (Trump had already lodged complaints about Fox running Harris ads
during the election). The FCC launched formal ‘investigations’ into NPR
and PBS after Trump and Musk accused the public media stations of “biased”
coverage and “propaganda.” Then Musk tweeted this:
[1]Elon Musk tweeted against NPR
It’s a chilling and blatant attack on our free media. It’s not hard to
imagine what could be next – like an editorial ‘takeover’ of PBS or NPR to
make these the mouth-pieces of the administration.
But here’s the thing – to do things like defund our public media,
Republicans will need almost UNANIMOUS support in Congress. So we’re going
to raise the temperature to make sure they’re ALL hearing from thousands
of constituents concerned about these attacks on the media and our freedom
of speech.
[ [link removed] ]If we can raise enough, we can make this huge – unleashing powerful
demonstrations and stunts in front of the Capitol and in key districts to
get the media’s attention. Will you chip in to make it happen?
When we organize, we win.
