This is the final hour in our battle to preserve public funding for public media. The Senate will vote by July 18 on the rescission bill that will strip funding from public radio and TV.
Public media is in real danger. This funding is already in our budget. If it’s taken away, we could lose the ability to continue providing the KCCK shows and music you count on.
Because of the imminent nature of the threat, Protect My Public Media is encouraging calls rather than emails.
Many of you have written or called Senators Grassley and Ernst already. But if you have been saving your effort for crunch time or are willing to make one more effort, please call our Senators and ask them to remove cuts to public media from the rescissions bill.
What we do in these final days will determine the outcome.
Visit ProtectMyPublicMedia.org and use the call tool to urge Senators Grassley and Ernst to protect KCCK and all noncommercial stations by removing public media funding cuts from the rescissions package.
