The Issue

His weapons of defunding are strong, but now our anger of fire is stronger.

 Trump says he's ending federal funding for National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting Service. This decision has triggered the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to sue him. If this path continues unchecked, CPB, NPR, and PBS face colossal risks. These cherished institutions provide invaluable services to millions of Americans.

The implications of cutting funds are dire. NPR and PBS have been cornerstones of America's public discourse and culture, delivering news, education, and entertainment to all citizens. Remember tuning in to PBS for your favorite childhood shows? Or catching up with unbiased news on NPR? These moments are priceless, offering an education that commercial stations cannot match.

If Trump's cuts are implemented, it threatens the very existence of NPR and PBS as we know them. Programs that educate our children, provide unfiltered news, and offer a window into the arts and sciences might disappear.

This fight is not just about dollars and cents, but about preserving an essential element of our democracy and culture. Irrespective of political views, public broadcasting enriches American society, fostering an informed and engaged citizenry.

We must stand together to support NPR and PBS. Our voices can help shift this dangerous trajectory. Let's ensure that future generations can enjoy and learn from these vital resources.

Join me in urging lawmakers and stakeholders to reconsider these drastic cuts. The reign of Trump over these crucial public entities must be opposed with steadfast unity. Help save the heart and soul of public broadcasting. #KEEPPBSANDNPRALIVE.

Sign the petition and be a beacon of hope for NPR and PBS.
