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 1,942 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??

The New York Times Reports: "NPR Sues Trump Over Order to Cut Funding"

🔴URGENT: 10,000 SIGNATURES NEEDED: Will you sign our petition to STAND with public media against Donald Trump’s attacks?

SIGN THE PETITION »

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: NPR is FIGHTING back against Trump’s disgusting attacks. The just SUED Trump for violating the Constitution and First Amendment. YES!!

"NPR sued President Trump on Tuesday over his executive order that aims to end federal funding for NPR and PBS.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington by NPR and other public radio organizations, including Colorado Public Radio and Aspen Public Radio, said Mr. Trump’s order violated the Constitution and the First Amendment’s protections for freedom of speech.

'The president has no authority under the Constitution to take such actions,' the lawsuit said. 'On the contrary, the power of the purse is reserved to Congress.'

The White House had no immediate comment."

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??
