James,
In the wake of Trump's $1.1 BILLION funding cuts to NPR and PBS earlier
this year, public media stations across the country are struggling to stay
afloat – launching emergency fundraising appeals to try to stay on air.

funding cuts
Meanwhile, Trump's busy rubber stamping mega-mergers for his oligarch
media buddies – tightening their grip on what we see, hear, and read.
That's why Our Revolution is fighting back. It's not too late for Congress
to reverse these dangerous cuts – but it will only happen if enough of us
come together to show that our public outrage cannot be ignored.
[ [link removed] ]We CANNOT let Trump and his oligarchs steal our media. Will you
urgently add your name to demand Congress restore funding for PBS and NPR
NOW, before it's too late?

The impacts of these devastating cuts are coming fast. PBS has already
announced a devastating 15% staff cut and a budget cut of 21%.

In some rural areas, the local PBS channel is the ONLY place families can
get tornado warnings, school closures, or emergency weather updates. For
over 50 years, PBS has brought trusted learning into our homes. It's given
us Big Bird and Frontline. It served as the only source of local news and
safety alerts for millions – especially in rural and working-class
communities.
If Congress doesn't act now, the next generation could grow up without
Sesame Street, Mister Rogers, or even local news coverage. If we don't
rise up, Trump's oligarchs will fill the void with right-wing propaganda,
racist conspiracy theories, and corporate advertising. Trained journalists
will be replaced with cronies. The only media out there will be turned
into a megaphone for Trump and his billionaire friends.
[ [link removed] ]PBS and NPR are OUR media. And if we lose them now, we may never get
them back. Trump's billionaires are counting on us to stay silent. Let's
prove them wrong. Will you urgently add your name to overwhelm Congress
with our demand to save our public media before it's too late?

When we organize, we win.
