Public media has long been a trusted source of journalism, educational resources for children and families, lifesaving information, and cultural enrichment, connecting communities across the country. But its future depends on federal funding. That's why we're calling on public media supporters like you to take action on Protect My Public Media Day, a national day of advocacy on March 6, 2025 – a crucial moment as Congress prepares to make funding decisions that will impact public media's future.
This is an opportunity to stand up for public media, help raise awareness and inspire others to act! Whether you share your story, engage on social media, contact Congress, or encourage others to take action, every voice makes a difference.
Help build momentum by sharing these sample messages and images in the weeks leading up to March 6:
