BREAKING:

Trump and Republicans are holding the American people hostage and using the government shutdown to fast-track their agenda to layoff federal workers, defund agencies, and end public broadcasting. Now that federal funds have actually run out, we need grassroots Democrats like you to stand with us to demand Congress protect public broadcasting! » ADD YOUR NAME TO DEFEND PUBLIC BROADCASTING »

This government shutdown was entirely avoidable but MAGA Republicans refuse to budge on their MAGA agenda, and now everyday Americans are paying the price.

And now public broadcasting is in critical condition – staffers are being let go and local stations shutting down their programs.

If we don’t fix this ASAP, public broadcasting may shut down altogether.

New Dems are working across the aisle to secure funding for public broadcasting because we know a free press is key to a safe and healthy democracy.

But we need your support. Can you add your name now to stand with New Dems as we fight to defend public broadcasting? »
