Public Radio:
By the Community, For the Community
Share a personalized message voicing your support for your stations now.After decades of bipartisan support, the elimination of federal funding left public radio stations facing budget challenges, operational hurdles, and an uncertain future. Local stations are resilient and communities are supportive, but without dedicated federal support, the entire public media system — and especially broadcasters in the country's most rural and underserved communities — is in jeopardy.
The universal access provided to 99% of Americans across all 50 states is an invaluable civic resource. Now, more than ever, we must secure new federal support for the stations you rely on. We need you — your voice, your support, and your action — to keep your community connected.
To send a video directly to your lawmakers, follow the instructions in the form to record your message, provide your information, and hit 'Send.' Recording a simple message with just your phone can make a difference for your stations.
Let Your Voice Be Heard
With reduced resources and an uncertain future, independent local public radio stations are fighting to survive. Stations serving rural, remote, and tribal communities face greater risks than ever before, but every local public station is facing financial headwinds. Share a personalized video message with your lawmakers to prevent listeners across America from being left in the dark.
Tell Congress: support the stations that connect my community.
