Vote no on rescissions package.

Please vote no on the rescissions package. Clawing back funding for public broadcasting could shut down public radio and TV stations, threatening life-saving emergency broadcasts that rural communities in particular depend on during disasters, such as the recent flash floods in Texas. Public broadcasting alerts have been critical when cell and Internet service has gone down, such as during Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.  Rescinding global health funding will similarly be life-threatening. PEPFAR alone is estimated to have saved 26 million lives. Ending the program could lead to an additional 2-4 million deaths in sub-Saharan Africa annually.
