Urge Congress Oppose Defunding Public Media
The Fiscal Year 2025 House Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education (Labor-HHS-Education) Appropriations Bill eliminates core public media funding, jeopardizing your access to vital and vibrant public radio and television stations.
Without federal funding, stations may be forced to reduce valued programming, services, or shut down entirely, hitting rural and Native American communities the hardest.
Protect your public media. Urge your Representative to oppose the FY 2025 House Labor-HHS-Education bill and request full funding in the Senate bills.

Federal funding ensures that your local public radio and TV stations can continue to give you access to essential educational, local, and cultural programming; trustworthy, in-depth news; and emergency and community-based services. Here are three things you can do today to keep public media strong.
