Defend Public Broadcasting!

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s subcommittee in Department of Government Efficient (DOGE) has officially called for the CEOs of PBS and NPR to testify before Congress and defend their sponsorships on local stations. And legislation has been introduced in the House and Senate to strip federal funding for NPR and PBS.
Yes, you read that right: MAGA Republicans are trying to attack these public broadcasting stations for both accepting corporate underwriting and for receiving funding from the government. Their illogical, inconsistent attacks are part and parcel of their chaos agenda to eliminate essential services in favor of more tax cuts for billionaires.
Sign the petition now to demand that Congress protect public broadcasting!

Why is this important?
Public broadcasting provides Americans with access to local news, educational programming, and independent journalism without corporate and political influence. Public broadcasters like PBS and NPR are beloved and crucial to communities across the nation, but Republicans are attacking these institutions with the goal of defunding public broadcasting.
We can fight back by letting MAGA know that public broadcasting is for the people and can’t be defunded or bought by billionaires!
