Tell Congress to protect public media from Trump's move to destroy public journalism!
Petition to Congress:
We urge you to reject proposals to cut funding for public media.
A focus of Trump’s second term is destroying public, reliable media to allow right-wing, Trump-friendly disinformation peddlers to take over. In just the last few months, public media outlets have been forced to defend themselves against a sham FCC investigation, a phony DOGE committee hearing where Marjorie Taylor Greene slung invective at public journalism, and propaganda smear campaigns led by Elon Musk.
Congress can still stop Trump’s proposal to strip funding from public media if we keep the pressure on lawmakers to protect these popular broadcasters.
Sign the petition: Don’t let Trump defund public broadcasting. Tell Congress to oppose $1 billion in cuts to public media!
The White House doesn’t have the legal authority to end funding for public media, but Trump is still doing everything he can to destroy it.
Taking a billion-dollar buzzsaw to public media is a central part of Trump’s plan to eliminate reliable media sources and empower right-wing disinformation to dominate TV, radio, and the internet.
Congress must hear us loud and clear: we won’t stand for Trump’s illegal action, and we won’t let our lawmakers gut PBS and public radio.
Sign the petition: Tell Congress to oppose Trump’s call to defund PBS and public radio!
