Restore PBS and NPR Funding Now

U.S. Congress

NPR just secured $36 million in federal funding for public radio – a tangible step towards repairing the damage done by Trump's war on public media [1]

But let’s be clear: that’s only a fraction of what’s been lost.

Trump slashed $1.1 billion from public media this year, and the damage is already hitting communities nationwide.

Local stations are closing. Parents are losing trusted educational resources. Rural communities are losing their only source of news and safety alerts. And if we don’t act now to restore funding, Trump’s allies will fill the void with far-right propaganda.

Trump is gutting public media and forcing his own narrative. Sign the petition to push back – and demand Congress restore funding for PBS and NPR now >>

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.
