Local media is at risk. After $1.1B in federal cuts, 115 stations serving 43 million Americans could be shut down. Many are in rural and Native communities where these stations are lifelines. We urgently need to come together to protect public media and ensure its vitality for future generations. Today, the philanthropic community is banding together to commit $36.5M in emergency funding, and we hope others will join us. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g4t8JRvF
