Trump's plan to defund NPR & PBS could be coming undone. On Wednesday, crucial swing-vote Senators Murkowski and Collins spoke out in a critical hearing – meaning just one Senate vote is all we need to Save NPR & PBS!
There are just DAYS LEFT before the Senate votes, and we need everyone who loves NPR and PBS to speak up. Add your name to demand Senators stop Trump's plan to defund NPR and PBS!
Make no mistake: Public broadcasting plays an irreplaceable role in American society, holding powerful interests accountable and informing our communities. Trump's proposal slashes the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) budget – repealing essential public funding that supports more than 1,500 local public radio and TV stations nationwide.
Millions of Americans rely on public media for high-quality journalism, objective news coverage, and vital educational programming for families. But if Trump's cuts pass, DOZENS of stations could be forced to close.
Trump understands perfectly well how valuable independent journalism is, and he's targeting it directly because he sees honest reporting as a threat to his political agenda. We can't let that happen.
Senators from both sides of the aisle have expressed concern about these drastic cuts – but concern alone won't be enough. Members of Congress need to feel overwhelming grassroots pressure to stand up to Trump and reject these devastating cuts.
Our Revolution has been mobilizing the grassroots, rallying outside of NPR HQ, and bird-dogging members of Congress to put them on the spot about these cuts. Now it's time ALL of us take action to protect the strength and independence of American public media before it's too late.
Tell your Senators: Reject Trump's assault on public media. Fully fund NPR, PBS, and local public broadcasting now!
Public broadcasting stands as a powerful force for truth, accountability, education, and democracy – but only if we fight to defend it. With critical Senate votes approaching, our collective voice must be heard loud and clear: America's public media is not negotiable.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
