Stop the rise of right-wing media. Don't let Trump defund public media!
Petition to the U.S. Senate:
We urge you to reject proposals to cut funding for public media.
House Republicans recently voted to strip $1 billion in funding from public media.1 This has been part of the Trump MAGA media plan since he was elected in November.
Trump’s coordinated campaign to replace reliable media sources with right-wing disinformation channels would get a major boost if the Senate passes this bill. Congress can’t let Trump destroy America’s overwhelmingly popular, reliable public news outlets.
Sign the petition: Tell the Senate to OPPOSE Trump’s bill to destroy public media.
Trump and his regime of MAGA allies have been demonizing public radio stations and broadcasters that are American cornerstones for news, educational and early childhood programming.
Marjorie Taylor Greene has called public media “communist” and “anti-American,” villainizing the news networks that Trump has waged war on since his first term.3
Trump’s war on the media will face a major setback if the Senate protects public media and takes a stand for reliable, trustworthy information. It’s one of the most urgent battles in our country, and we can’t allow MAGA conservative media to become the only option in America.
Sign the petition: Stop Trump’s media takeover!
