Thanks to Mary M.
Dear Mary,
Late last night, President Trump issued an executive order directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s board of directors to “cease federal funding for NPR and PBS.” The order would negatively impact the partnership between PBS and local stations that provides emergency alert services and high-quality kids educational programming and local journalism here and in communities throughout the country. While much of our funding comes from members like you, foundations and local businesses, the loss of our federal grant of $3.6M presents a serious challenge.
Here are a few things you can do right now to help: Connect with Protect My Public Media to learn how to contact your Congressional representatives and have your voice heard.Talk to your family and neighbors – there is power in community! You can help spread the word about the need for public media.Follow Cascade PBS on social media to stay up to date on this and other important information.I am so grateful for your continued support and friendship to the organization in these trying times.Warm regards,Robert I.
