A few words about the future of federal funding

This is a special message providing updates to our supporters about the future of federal funding for public media. For nearly fifty years, a bipartisan majority in Congress has supported funding for public media, and these efforts. But, today calls to defund public media are getting louder. Federal funding for all of public media amounts to about $1.60 per person each year, and it's an essential component for the sustainability of many local media organizations' work. Whatever the challenges, whatever the tests, together, we remain committed to ensuring that all communities across America continue to have access to reliable information, news and educational resources for generations to come. For now, please stay informed about the future of federal funding through www.protectmypublicmedia.org.
