Applaud Judge for Defending a Free Press

A federal judge just delivered a powerful win for the First Amendment!

U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to cut off federal funding to NPR and PBS, ruling that the move was unconstitutional and amounted to punishing media outlets for their speech and viewpoints.

The decision sends a clear message: the government cannot use its power to silence journalism it disagrees with. A free and independent press is essential to our democracy — and it must be protected from political retaliation.

Public media plays a vital role in educating, informing, and connecting communities across the country. This ruling helps ensure that mission can continue without interference or censorship.

This is about more than funding — it’s about defending the fundamental right to speak, report, and inform without fear.

Add your name to applaud this decision and stand up for a free press and the First Amendment.
