Public Media Giving Days is May 1 and 2. Typically, we would spend those two days asking you to join us in celebrating all that public media has to offer and to encourage your friends and family to donate and learn more. This year, we’re asking for your help. With politicians in Washington calling to defund public media and new federal funding threats emerging, it is a critical time to act. Voicing your support for public media is more important than ever. You can make a difference.
Advocate for Public Media
It is the time to join the national effort to advocate for public media. Contacting your representatives demonstrates the full force of grassroots support for public media and helps protect the funding that powers these vital services.
Protect My Public Media has a built-in form that makes it easy to email your Congressperson. You can find additional contact information for your representatives using the lookup tool on the official website for Congress.
After you contact your representatives, we strongly encourage you to share Protect My Public Media with your friends and family. Every voice matters.
Donate
This year, passionate public media supporter and VPM member Carole Weinstein will match EVERY DONATION made during Public Media Giving Days — up to a total of $10,000. We need your help to unlock this generous bonus. This matching challenge is only active May 1 and 2. Don’t wait. Give today.
