This week, the Senate will vote on whether to eliminate previously-approved funding for public media, which would have a devastating impact on essential educational, local, and cultural programming that public media provides. However, changes are still possible and your support can make a difference. Visit protect.pbs.org to urge them to remove the proposal targeting public media from the package.
