Don’t Let Congress Silence NPR and PBS

Letters, calls and emails from people like you helped save funding for NPR and PBS this year, but there are still six bills in Congress that could end future funding for public broadcasting.

Help us beat back these attacks by urging your representative to stand with the American people and protect public media. Sign the letter below to put Congress on notice: It can't play politics with one of the last, best sources of news and programming we have in America.

For some communities, local NPR and PBS stations are the only source of serious reporting. They also employ thousands of journalists — at a time when commercial newsrooms are shedding jobs.

Whether you rely on public media for Morning Edition or for Sesame Street, tell Congress to take a stand for public media.

Sign the Petition

Dear Member of Congress,

Please don't play politics with America’s most trusted sources of news, arts and educational programming.

Local NPR and PBS stations reach more than 98 percent of American households. For some communities, they are the only source of serious local reporting. They also employ thousands of journalists at a time when commercial newsrooms are shedding jobs.

Please join me and millions of public broadcasting supporters and oppose any legislation that would slash funding for NPR and PBS.
