Hi Revealer,

They did it: Congress killed federal funding for public broadcasting. Washington is clawing back the $1.1 billion it already appropriated for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a crucial funder of many of the public radio stations that air Reveal, our weekly radio show.

Without this funding, public media is at risk of decimation. Many local radio stations are at imminent risk of cutting back operations or shutting down when the federal funding dries up starting in October.

Let’s be clear: This is not about balancing the budget. It’s about silencing dissent.

The ruling destabilizes, if not dismantles, a public service with a proud record of asking tough questions and reporting what the powerful want buried.

With public media under attack, it’s more important than ever that independent outlets fight back.
And I’m asking you to help us do that. ([link removed])
Fueled by your support, we’ll keep investigating and sharing the truth.

to keep Reveal strong and ready for whatever comes next.

We’re depending on you. We can’t do our work without the commitment of people like you who support us. Thanks for all you’ve done and for your dedication to preserving a free press, now and always.

P.S. And, look, there’s more that you can and should do, like supporting your local radio station ([link removed]) directly. Public radio stations are the backbone of our public media ecosystem, and they need your help more than ever. Particularly in rural and underserved areas, closing public radio stations means depriving its listeners of news about emergency preparedness, educational programs, and other stories directly affecting their communities. Without this public service, listeners will be left with few—if any—free options for accessing reliable, essential information. You can make a difference.
