James,

🚨🚨 This is URGENT: the House just passed an extreme request from Trump to strip $1.1 billion from public media – money Congress already pledged to keep NPR, PBS, and local stations broadcasting. 🚨🚨

Now, the bill must pass the Senate. And we are NOT going to let it happen. Some Republican Senators like Maine's Susan Collins have already raised doubts about their support for this reckless attempt to clawback funding:

Our Revolution has been preparing for exactly this scenario – scaling up our grassroots presence and mobilization in key states like Maine, where Senator Collins could cast a decisive vote.

This quest to kill public media is straight out of Trump's authoritarian playbook: limit independent journalism, restrict the flow of accurate information, and weaken our democracy. Which is why Trump has tried again and again to defund NPR and PBS – because the truth is inconvenient to his dangerous agenda.

Let's be clear about what's at stake: the heads of PBS and NPR have warned that defunding public media will force stations off the air.

Outlets like PBS and NPR aren't luxuries – they're lifelines, especially in rural areas and underserved communities. Which is why Our Revolution is urgently scaling up right now, unleashing tactics like targeted campaigns in critical battlegrounds, flooding Senators' offices with letters from constituents, and showing up in the Hill to put lawmakers on the spot face-to-face.

When we organize, we win.
