Last month, Congress voted to end public media’s federal funding. Now, local stations across the country are at risk of going dark.

Adopt one. Spread the word. Save public media.

Stand with local stations #protectmypublicmedia on a red background

A bunny is surrounded by numerous gold chocolate bunny figures wrapped in foil with red bows.

Two small dogs sit in the grass looking at the camera, one with both ears up and the other with one ear up and one floppy. To their left is a flower. Behind them is a fence.

These two would like you to check out Protect My Public Media and contact your reps protectmypublicmedia.org

History repeats and repeats. Thousands of African Americans were convinced to put their savings in the Freedman's Bank. Then white board members stole the money or lost it, Blacks lost everything they had, still have not recovered full trust in the banking system.

I'd rather continue to fund the banking police (who have returned billions to consumers) rather than giving everyone a check for $2.15

The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down an agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. https://buff.ly/42NeEl6
