The U.S. House will vote today on whether to approve the White House's rescission request and immediately eliminate federal funding for public media. 

That federal funding supports far more than programs — it supports emergency alerts, educational content for kids who rely on free access to learning, and our ability to tell stories that reflect this community, not just the headlines of the day. Losing this support would mean real cuts to public media services in Alabama, affecting the hundreds of thousands of people who count on us every day.

That’s why we’re asking you to act immediately and speak to your representatives now.

Please visit ProtectMyPublicMedia.org to contact your lawmakers. You’ll find provided templates you can use to call them today, tomorrow, and the next day until your voice is heard loud and clear: We can’t lose this critical community resource.

Thank you for standing up with us.

Wayne Reid
Executive Director
