Tell Congress: Restore PBS and NPR Funding

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) – the backbone of funding for PBS and NPR – is shutting down operations after Congress passed Trump’s plan to slash $1.1 billion from independent, public media. 

This is the first time Congress has denied the CPB funding in its nearly 60 year history. 

With the shutdown process starting, local PBS and NPR stations across the country are preparing for devastating cuts to staff, programming, and services – with rural communities hit the hardest. 

PBS and NPR have long been among the most trusted sources of news in the country – providing free, local, fact-based reporting and educational programming without political or corporate influence. 

Now, Trump and his allies in Congress have taken aim at these pillars of independent journalism – not because they’ve failed the public, but because they serve it.

With your help, we can restore funding and protect public media. If you agree we must protect independent media from these attacks, add your name today to tell Congress:

"Congress must restore funding for PBS and NPR – which Americans consistently rank as the most trustworthy networks for news and public affairs.

Attacks on PBS and NPR are attempts to silence independent media. We must protect free, fact-based journalism and ensure access to trusted programming for all Americans."
