Tell Congress: Keep Trump's Hands Off NPR and PBS!

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are coming after NPR and PBS.

As co-chair of Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk says he wants to slash hundreds of millions of dollars in annual funding for public broadcasting.

Not only do NPR and PBS offer beloved programs like All Things Considered and Sesame Street, but they also provide a nationwide network of stations offering local news, educational programming, and critical support for the emergency alert system.

While corporate news outlets like ABC News and The Washington Post capitulate to Trump with bogus legal settlements and self-censorship, and as disinformation runs wild on social media, NPR’s more than 1,000 public radio stations reach over 98% of Americans, including some of the most isolated parts of rural America.

Former NPR executive Eric Nuzum warns that “The most vulnerable stations serving the most vulnerable people are going to be the ones that are hurt the hardest. We’re talking about very rural parts of the United States.”

Tell your members of Congress: Public broadcasting is an essential resource worth preserving. Protect NPR and PBS funding now!
