After Congress GUTTED funding for PBS, the network has announced that it’ll cut a WHOPPING 15% of its staff!
Now, HUNDREDS of PBS stations that depend on federal funding are in jeopardy!
We need to show Congress that Americans won’t stay silent, that’s why we reached out to you. We need 750 local activists to add their names to our petition to stand with PBS against Republican attacks. Can you sign on right now? »
Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich is calling out the Trump Administration for these extreme cuts:
These budget cuts were never about the money; PBS’s defunding was a direct assault on freedom of information.
When Congress gutted the finances for PBS, it stripped away millions of Americans' access to trusted, independent news and educational content.
In rural areas, Native communities, and underserved neighborhoods, PBS is often the only accessible source of news, children’s programming, and emergency announcements.
And now, those stations are at risk of going dark.
So we need you now. Will you join 750 local activists by signing the petition below to send a clear message: that Americans won’t accept any more attacks on public media? »
Thank you for signing.
