James,

🚨🚨Trump’s war on our public media went nuclear as he signed a terrifying
Executive Order demanding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB)
"cease federal funding for NPR and PBS." 🚨🚨

[ [link removed] ]Headline: Trump signs executive order to stop federal funding for NPR
and PBS.

PBS’s CEO is sounding the alarm. She recently warned that "There is no
Plan B" if Trump succeeds in his dangerous demand for Congress to zero out
funding for public broadcasting.

Make no mistake: Defunding PBS and NPR will force countless local stations
to close. And many of the most vulnerable stations are in rural and
underserved areas, with populations that don’t have access to or can’t
afford cable or satellite.

Congress is feeling the heat and even a few Republicans recently expressed
concern. NOW is the moment to keep up the pressure and show Trump that his
ruthless attempt to kill public media won’t work.

[ [link removed] ]Will you urgently stand with PBS and NPR and tell Congress to step in
and tell Trump to keep his hands off our public media?

For years, Trump has been hell bent on destroying NPR and PBS. He detests
the fact he can’t control the stories they publish – and without
independent media he’s free to spread whatever lies and disinformation he
likes.

He’s on a warpath to defund them and is using his latest Executive Order
to try to circumvent Congress. But he’s not stopping there. Last week, he
ALSO removed three of the five CPB board members. CPB is fighting back,
filing a lawsuit to stop this unprecedented attack on its editorial
independence. And we’re going to stand with them.

[ [link removed] ]Headline: Corporation for Public Broadcasting sues to block Trump from
firing 3 board members.

We WILL NOT allow Trump’s reckless political interference to undermine our
democracy's most trusted independent media sources. Congress works for
us—not Donald Trump, not special interests—and they need to know clearly
where we stand.

[ [link removed] ]Will you urgently add your name to show Congress that the public stands
with NPR and PBS and WILL NOT SUPPORT attempts to silence and defund our
public media?

This fight isn't simply about television and radio – it's about protecting
our democracy's cornerstone institutions from partisan attacks. It's about
standing with independent journalism that prioritizes truth over profits,
children's development over corporate advertisers, and transparency over
political agendas.

When we organize, we win.
