Save NPR from Trump and Musk!
Petition to Congress:
We urge you to reject proposals to cut funding for NPR.
The New York Times reports that Elon Musk is “gunning” for public media like NPR.1
Republicans have tried to gut National Public Radio for decades. Trump even tried to slash funding in his first term. But now, with Musk leading the charge on massive cuts and Trump’s war on journalism at a fever pitch, NPR is under serious threat.
Sign the petition: Don’t let Musk and Trump slash funding to NPR!
Trump, Elon Musk, and GOP Speaker Mike Johnson are all on the same page about gutting NPR funding — a scary prospect with Republicans soon to be in control of the House, Senate, and White House.
They want to destroy a public service so private corporations and CEOs can take over even more of the media world, and rake in even greater profits. They know that an informed public with access to trusted journalism is a powerful defense against the manipulation, disinformation, and propaganda they’re pushing.
Our lawmakers must stand up for public media and against the effort to undermine journalism.
Add your name: Save NPR from Musk and Trump!
