Hi,

Elon Musk and Republicans have launched a coordinated attack on public
broadcasters PBS and NPR.

The Trump administration launched investigations into PBS and NPR aimed at
slashing their federal funding. Musk called NPR propaganda. Marjorie
Taylor Greene is dragging the CEOs of both public outlets in front of her
DOGE (Delivering on Government Efficiency) subcommittee for reporting the
truth about Trump.^1 And the House GOP officially introduced a bill to
fully defund PBS and NPR.^2

It’s an all-out attack that only Congress can stop. Our lawmakers must
stand up to Trump and Musk’s attempts to destroy popular, reliable public
media. It’s a fight to prevent a complete takeover by right-wing
disinformation.

Stand up to Musk and Trump’s attacks on public media!

If Musk and Trump succeed, they’ll be able to further consolidate the flow
of news through their preferred channels that spew lies and far-right
propaganda.

Musk’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) has been recklessly
taking down Musk’s perceived enemies. NPR and PBS will meet a similar fate
unless Congress stands up to these attacks. Public broadcasters are
massively popular across partisan lines, so we have a chance to pressure
lawmakers to stand by their constituents.

campaign to slash critical funding from public media.

Thanks for taking action,
