In a late night rant on his Truth Social platform, Donald Trump posted

"NPR and PBS, two horrible and completely biased platforms (Networks!), should be DEFUNDED by Congress, IMMEDIATELY. Republicans, don’t miss this opportunity to rid our Country of this giant SCAM, both being arms of the Radical Left Democrat Party. JUST SAY NO AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"

Without government funding your local public radio and television will cease to exist and with it essential educational, local and cultural programming; trustworthy in-depth news and emergency and community-based services. Without public-assisted funding kids would have missed out on Mr. Rogers, will lose Sesame Street, and you will lose out in Wait,Wait Don’t Tell me, and All Things Considered.

ACTION LINKS:
Call your lawmakers and tell them to sustain public funding for public media.

You can let public media know why it matters to you and share your story.

Or you can simply sign the petition to protect local media

Or you can just tell your kids and grandkids to say goodbye to Ernie and Bert, Kermit the frog, and Big Bird because you chose not to act.
