The recent House vote to claw back $9.4 billion in funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting is deeply concerning. The proposed $1.1 billion cut to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds essential services like NPR and PBS, threatens access to unbiased news and educational programming for millions of Americans. Public broadcasting plays a vital role in our democracy by providing trusted journalism and enriching content that informs and empowers communities across the nation. Slashing its funding would undermine this invaluable public service and do a disservice to the American people who rely on it. I urge you to reject these misguided cuts and uphold robust funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to safeguard the future of public media's essential work. Preserving NPR, PBS, and public broadcasting is crucial for an informed citizenry and a stronger democracy.
