James,
⏰⏰Donald Trump’s latest authoritarian power grab will gut NPR, PBS, and local public radio and television stations – unless we stop it in the next 48 hours.⏰⏰
Trump’s so-called "rescission package" will defund our public media, forcing countless rural stations off the air. It’s already passed the House – and now, if the Senate doesn’t pass it by Friday, the entire package dies. That means the clock is ticking – and the pressure is mounting with several key Republican Senators expressing concern.
We don’t need to win a vote. We just need to run out the clock. But Trump is mounting a massive pressure campaign on the Senate to get in line so it’s going to take ALL of us speaking out.
Will you send an urgent message to Congress RIGHT NOW demanding they stand up to Trump and save NPR and PBS?
In Trump’s world, if the media isn’t loyal to him, it gets silenced. Which is why MAGA has been trying to come after public media for YEARS. But NPR’s CEO just called this attack the "most serious threat ever faced by public broadcasting."
Right now, key Senators are still expressing concern about the bill – but haven’t yet committed to voting no. Trump is piling on the political pressure for ALL Republicans to get in line, but if we overwhelm them with opposition today, we can give them the political cover they need to stand up to Trump.
Make no mistake: Trump’s rescissions push isn’t about saving money – it’s about silencing truth-tellers and gutting the public good. ANY senator who supports it has no business claiming to defend our freedoms.
That’s why we must act fast. Thousands of Our Revolution members joined our Stop the Cuts call earlier this week and we’ve delivered 70,000+ signatures to Congress TODAY. Now, we have just HOURS left to make sure this bill dies in the Senate.
Will you urgently send your message to Congress: Don’t let Trump defund public media – kill his rescission package NOW!
This is a fight we can win if enough of us stand together. Let’s make sure the public still has access to free, independent media – and show Trump that our democracy can’t be defunded.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
