James,
Just a few Senators hold the fate of our public media in their hands. In DAYS, the Senate will vote on Trump's reckless rescission package that will gut critical funding for NPR and PBS.
If the Senate does not pass Trump's request in the next 11 days, PBS and NPR will be safe from the cuts. And the good news is at least FOUR Senators have already expressed concern – enough to kill the bill. But as Trump launches yet another pressure campaign to get them in line, massive public outcry is needed NOW to save public media.
Can you urgently urge your Senators to reject Trump's dangerous scheme and protect NPR and PBS?
Trump claims this cruel budget-cutting measure is about fiscal responsibility, but slashing funding for NPR and PBS isn't about saving taxpayer dollars. NPR and PBS combined receive only .01% of the federal budget – roughly $1.35 per taxpayer for trusted reporting, educational programs, and the arts.
Trump's plan isn't about fiscal responsibility – it's about silencing media voices his administration cannot control. And rural public stations across the country are sounding the alarm that if these cuts go through, they could be forced off air.
The good news is we won this fight before during Trump's last term. Which is why Our Revolution has been mobilizing for months – sending tens of thousands of messages to Congress, rallying outside of NPR HQ, and confronting key lawmakers to put them on the spot.
The pressure is WORKING – but NOW is the most important moment to keep it up.
We have beaten attacks on public media before, and we can do it again - but only if ALL of us stand up right now and make yourselves heard. Please act today: tell your Senators to stop Trump's assault on NPR, PBS, and our democracy.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
