An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Protect public broadcasting - essential resource for all Americans.

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

Public broadcasting is a vital resource that enriches communities across the nation. It provides educational programming, local news coverage, emergency alerts, and cultural content that would otherwise be unavailable, especially in rural and underserved areas. Eliminating federal funding would jeopardize these essential services and undermine the public's access to independent journalism and educational opportunities. This move to defund public media amounts to looting critical public resources to further enrich billionaires like Elon Musk. Instead of stripping away funding that benefits millions of Americans, we should be investing in strengthening public broadcasting infrastructure and expanding its reach. Public media is a invaluable public good that belongs to the people, not private corporations. I urge you to protect federal funding for public broadcasting and reject any attempts to dismantle this vital institution. Stand up for your constituents' right to access high-quality, non-commercial programming that elevates our society. Preserve public media as a beacon of democracy and intellectual curiosity.
