🚨 Public Media Funding is at Risk. Connecticut Public Needs Your Voice. 🚨 At Connecticut Public, we believe in the power of trusted journalism, free educational resources for all, and conversations that strengthen our democracy. Every week, 1.2 million people across Connecticut count on us for local news, thoughtful storytelling, and programs that inspire and connect. Now, this vital service is under threat. There is potential for the White House to ask Congress to eliminate $1.1 billion in federal funding for public media — a devastating move that would impact stations like ours across the country, and right here at home. Federal funding helps make everything you value from Connecticut Public possible — Morning Edition, All Things Considered, PBS NewsHour, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and our award-winning local reporting through The Accountability Project, plus educational programming, cultural events, and essential emergency alerts. ✅ You can help right now!

Together, we can protect the public media that keeps Connecticut informed, connected, and strong.
