Dear Friend, 

The news from a few days ago that Congress defunded public media, including PBS News Hour, was devastating.  

And, yes, it would be very easy to become discouraged right now. 

But instead, I’m more resolved than ever. This moment demands determination—and we will remain steadfast in our commitment to keep pressing forward on our mission of journalism with integrity.  

And right now, you have an opportunity to double your impact for a full year as a monthly sustainer. A Friend of the News Hour has generously offered to match every gift, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000—but only until midnight tonight. 

We have been inspired seeing strong and positive response from every corner of the country, where friends like you know that public media matters. Your friends and neighbors are showing up when they are needed most and taking action. 

Please don’t wait. Make a monthly donation before midnight tonight and your gift will be doubled for the entire first year. One-time gifts will be doubled as well, but monthly giving is the most impactful way to build the financial strength required to deliver the independent news and analysis you value. Join your fellow supporters in keeping PBS News Hour a trusted source of journalism for millions across the country. 

Public media is worth fighting for. Can I count on you to come forward with a generous gift to help safeguard independent journalism? 

Thank you for your support. 

Sincerely, 


Alyson Brokenshire

Senior Director, Principal and Major Gifts
PBS News Hour

P.S. Please consider also making a donation to your local PBS station. With federal funding zeroed out for all public media, your support of your community station is more vital than ever.
