When I worked for PBS, the GOP came at us every year & that chopping block of cruelty only made us more determined to take a member’s $1 (I once got $1 mailed to me from a woman in her 80s) & turn it into $2 on the way to the bank. It’s a hard current reality but our roots will never be unplugged📺✨

There is an American Archive of Public Media that you can find great programs on as well. I think its older programs that PBS doesn't store anymore. americanarchive.org/about-the-am... americanarchive.org/catalog?f[se...

I absolutely depend on NPR because I can't afford the internet. I'm disabled & live in Florida. Cell towers & electricity are always affected. We depend on an old fashioned radio for weather & news. NPR is the most reliable! I feel like crying. What are we going to do?

Call your Senators and House member. Let them know you don’t appreciate their defunding actions! Also, pass the word on the friends, and associates to do the same. Congress can reinstate the funding if pushed to do so.

Exactly. I refused to get cable even when it was finally available to me, until well into the early 2000s. I watched Sesame Street even into adulthood, just because it was so soothing and good for my stress levels. It was always there.

I’m in a very rural area in Kentucky. I depended on PBS and NPR long before cable or satellite tv became available. Now, with the ridiculous charges by corporate cable and internet companies, I still depend on PBS & NPR. Yes, I donate to both. They make me a much better informed person.
