Dear Friend, 

We're writing to you again with a heavy heart, but also with renewed determination.  

For the first time in history, Congress voted to zero out funding for public media, including PBS News Hour. This decision creates a critical funding challenge for us, but one we can meet with your sustaining support. 

PBS News Hour has always been a beacon of independent, unbiased reporting, and our commitment to delivering comprehensive news, diverse perspectives, and thoughtful discussions remains absolute.  

We simply can't let this decision undermine the essential service PBS News Hour provides to millions of people across the country. We are turning to you, our dedicated community, with an urgent plea: we need your support now more than ever. Your generous monthly contribution, no matter the amount, will directly help us weather this storm and continue to deliver the in-depth, fact-based reporting you value and depend on. 

With millions depending on PBS News Hour for trusted reporting, your support today makes all the difference. 

Thank you for being a part of the PBS News Hour community. 

Sincerely, 

Alyson Brokenshire
Senior Director, Principal and Major Gifts
PBS News Hour

P.S. The impacts of this decision are real, and the need is immediate. Becoming a monthly sustainer is the most impactful way you can help PBS News Hour build the financial strength required to continue delivering reliable and trusted journalism.
