Hey there,
Yesterday, I sent you an email outlining Donald Trump’s latest attacks against public media stations like NPR and PBS.
And I told you that we were circulating a massive petition to build massive resistance against Trump’s attacks.
Because here at Hold the Line, we believe public media is a pillar of our democracy, providing millions of Americans fact-based news, educational programming, and more.
But we needed 10,000 signatures to hit our quota, and we’re still 2,047 short!
Fortunately, my manager gave me until midnight to close the gap. That’s why I’m asking you one more time: Will you sign our petition to stand with public media??
Thanks for your help,
Andy M.

Subject: Donald Trump DEFUNDS Public Media →
Here’s what you need to know:
FIRST: Donald Trump signed an executive order to stop federal funding for NPR and PBS after falsely claiming for years that they are “biased and promote left-wing causes”.
THEN: Democrats began RALLYING behind these organizations, because millions of Americans depend on them for fact-based news, educational programming, and more.
NOW: The CEOs at NPR and PBS CEOs are FIGHTING back against Trump’s disgusting attacks. YES!!
And we’re SO proud of them for speaking truth to power… but they’re going to need undeniable grassroots support to succeed.
That’s why we’re circulating this urgent petition to send a resounding message to Trump and the entire GOP that we won’t stand for their attacks.
So, will you join 10,000 other Democrats in signing our petition to STAND with public media??
Thanks for your support,
Hold the Line
