James,
Public media is hanging on by a thread after Trump's $1.1 BILLION in funding cuts to NPR and PBS earlier this year. And the dam is breaking: Arkansas’ statewide public television network just announced it will end its affiliation with PBS thanks to funding cuts, saying it cannot afford PBS membership fees.
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. Right now, the Senate is working on its 2026 budget and can RESTORE funding for public media before it’s too late. But it’s going to take a MASSIVE public outcry to force them to do it.
We CANNOT let Trump and his oligarchs steal our media. Will you urgently add your name now to demand Congress restore funding for PBS and NPR NOW, before it’s too late?
As Trump looks to hand full control of the media to his oligarch friends, he slashed funding for NPR and PBS – forcing layoffs, killing local shows, and risking total shutdowns where stations can’t survive without federal help. Arkansas is just the beginning. 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.
It’s not too late to reverse course, but Congress is racing to finish the budget by January. Which gives us just weeks to flood Congress with our demands. Our Revolution is ready to deliver our voices straight to Congress in these crucial moments, but first we need to come together in massive numbers to show that our public outrage cannot be ignored.
We CANNOT let Trump and his oligarchs get away with silencing our public media for their own gain. ACT NOW and tell Congress to restore public media funding in the 2026 budget before more communities are left in the dark.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
