Friend,

Congress has until this Friday — July 18 — to fulfill the White House’s formal request to claw back billions of dollars in already-approved funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, disaster-relief programs and essential international efforts like UNICEF.

The cruelty of this administration knows no bounds: These budget allocations support popular NPR and PBS programming, crucial emergency warning services and global health measures to reduce maternal- and infant-mortality rates.

This is a make-or-break week for the fate of public media in this country. Many of you have already taken action with us to try and prevent the passage of Trump’s latest budgetary abomination, but our work isn’t done yet: Join our virtual town hall on Mon., July 14, at 7 p.m. ET to learn more about the ongoing fight to ensure people have access to the lifesaving information and news coverage they need!

Here are the details:

• WHAT: From UNICEF to NPR: Trump’s Cuts End Here
• WHEN: Mon., July 14, at 7 p.m. ET
• WHERE: RSVP on Zoom
• WHO: Free Press Action and our friends at Public Citizen, Partners in Health, Our Revolution, Popular Democracy and more
• WHY: Trump and his congressional allies are this close to passing another awful budget bill, one that would do irreparable damage to public health and public media. What can we do to stop them? We’re joining together to make plans.

This is too important to miss. Secure your spot today.

Hope you can make it to tomorrow’s virtual town hall,

Heather and the rest of us at Free Press Action
