Rescinding funding for public broadcasters like PBS and NPR would be detrimental to communities across the nation, especially in rural and underserved areas where they are often the sole source of locally relevant news and educational content. Public broadcasting plays a vital role in providing trustworthy journalism, thought-provoking programs, and essential services during emergencies. Cutting this funding would undermine the very principles of a free press and equitable access to information that are cornerstones of our democracy. We urge you to maintain robust support for public media to ensure all Americans can stay informed and engaged through high-quality, noncommercial programming that serves the public interest.
