Defend NPR and PBS from Political Retaliation

President Trump has issued an executive order directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to halt all federal funding for NPR and PBS, accusing them of bias and aiming to silence independent journalism.

This move jeopardizes essential services provided by public media, especially in rural and underserved communities where local stations rely heavily on CPB funding. These stations offer critical news coverage, educational content, and emergency alerts that commercial outlets often overlook.

Moreover, the executive order raises serious legal concerns. The CPB, established by Congress as an independent nonprofit, is not subject to presidential control. Legal experts and public media leaders argue that this action violates the First Amendment and the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967.

Sign now to demand policymakers uphold their commitment to public media and block this unlawful defunding.

Public broadcasting is a cornerstone of our democracy, providing free access to trustworthy information and diverse perspectives. We must ensure it remains independent and fully funded.
