Public broadcasting provides crucial services that millions rely on across the country, from educational programming to local news coverage. These independent news organizations are vital sources of information, especially in rural and underserved areas. Losing PBS, NPR, and other public broadcasters would devastate many communities. I urge you to reject attacks on public broadcasting funding and prioritize protecting these beloved institutions that connect Americans with factual reporting, educational content, and local stories. Preserving robust public broadcasting upholds principles of media freedom and public access to information that strengthen our democracy.
