COULD STOP THESE CUTS!!
​Think the budget is done? Not yet!
Before the final ugly bill was passed, Trump proposed cutting $9 billion in already-approved funding—including money for public media.
​
Here are the proposed cuts:​
$1.1 billion clawed back from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB)—which funds NPR, PBS, and about 1,500 local public radio and TV stations
This includes $535 million slated for FY 2026 and another $535 million for FY 2027 .

SCRIPT
Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m calling to ask Representative [Last Name] to oppose the proposed rescission that would cut $1.1 billion from public broadcasting.
​
These cuts would devastate local radio and TV stations—especially in rural and underserved communities. Public media is essential for education, emergency alerts, and civic connection.
​
Please protect funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and support any amendments that remove this harmful cut.
​
Thank you.
US Representatives
