After facing one Republican assault after the next in recent years, NPR and PBS are already hanging on by a thread. And now Trump and Musk want to completely gut the most trusted, unbiased source for news out there. WIll you urgently add your name to save PBS and NPR?
Musk has floated lots of ideas to cut spending – eliminating entire government departments and firing thousands. But one of the most concrete things on his list is slashing HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars in annual funding for PBS and NPR.
It’s not a new threat. Republicans have been waging a war on public broadcasting for years, trying to do away with free, fact-based independent journalism that is required by law to be objective and free from corporate or political agendas.
When Trump tried to slash public media funding during his first term, millions mobilized to stop him. Trump lost that fight, but this time could be different as Republicans line up behind him and Musk pushes harder than ever for major cuts.
We’re going to be ready.
Together, we can fight back to save NPR and PBS – and win. But it will only work if we mobilize in MASSIVE numbers, then relentlessly lobby Congress to keep public media alive. That work starts NOW – will you add your name to send a message straight to Congress?
In this polarized environment, free and independent media is more vital than ever. And that’s exactly why Trump and his oligarch buddies have settled on PBS and NPR as targets – without this vital public service, they’ll be free to spread all the disinformation they desire.
Together, we can save one of our most important tools left to expose their lies.
