Hi,

The House GOP introduced a bill this week to gut PBS and NPR’s funding.^1

It’s yet another attack against the public broadcasters — part of Elon
Musk, Donald Trump, and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s coordinated campaign to
destroy PBS and NPR.

If Musk and Trump succeed, they’ll be able to further consolidate the flow
of news through their preferred channels that spew right-wing
disinformation. Public broadcasters are massively popular across partisan
lines, so we have a chance to pressure Congress to stand by their
constituents.

The House GOP bill follows Trump admin investigations into the public
broadcasters, Musk and Greene making baseless accusations against the
public broadcasters for “bias and propaganda,” Greene demanding the heads
of NPR and PBS testify in front of Congress, and Trump taking an
aggressive approach to ALL reliable media outlets.^2,3

Musk’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) has been reckless in
taking down any of Musk’s enemies. NPR and PBS will be no different unless
Congress stops this dangerous funding bill.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition: Save PBS and NPR from Trump, Musk, and Greene’s
campaign to slash critical funding from public media.

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
