Public media costs Americans $1.60. Not $1.60 per day—per year. That’s .004₵ per day for news, education, and entertainment from shows like Great Performances. Visit protectmypublicmedia.org and tell your Senator to save @pbs.

Despite strong public opposition, the House approved $1.1 billion in public media cuts. The bill now heads to the Senate, where they’ll have to take it up before July 18. Thank you for standing with Great Performances. Call your Senator & ask them to protect Pubic Media funding.
