James,

Trump’s war on our public media isn't a distant threat – it's already
arrived. The Department of Education just pulled the plug on a vital
federal grant that funded PBS children’s programming like “Sesame Street”
and “Reading Rainbow”.

Shows

This latest move is proof that Trump isn’t going to rest until he
completely guts our public media. But here’s the thing: killing Big Bird
and other educational kids shows isn’t a popular move and CONGRESS still
controls the purse strings. Which is why we need to OVERWHELM our
representatives with calls to intervene to stop these cuts.

silence PBS and NPR?

Thanks to Trump’s relentless attacks on NPR and PBS, after years of
threatening rhetoric right-wing lawmakers are now emboldened to follow
through with their threats to defund our public media. They see cutting
public broadcasting as a political trophy, completely disregarding the
harm they'll inflict on struggling families, rural communities, and
underserved neighborhoods.

This latest move to terminate a grant program that makes kids educational
programs possible will have devastating consequences. For families who
can't afford paid cable or streaming services, PBS Kids is a critical
tool, bridging educational gaps, strengthening equal access to early
education, and teaching kids empathy, science, and social-emotional
learning.

It's clear what this attack really is: an attempt to silence independent
voices, weaken public trust, and eliminate media sources that can't be
easily controlled by special interests. And it’s just the beginning.

We have a chance to stop it – but we have to show Congress OVERWHELMING
opposition RIGHT NOW.

demonstrate widespread public support for PBS and NPR?
