On June 12, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to rescind previously approved federal funding for public media. That means Cascade PBS is one step closer to losing our federal support. This is a critical moment and your help is needed now.
Right now, we are asking all our supporters to call and email their U.S. Senators and urge them to preserve federal funding for public media by voting NO when the rescissions bill reaches the Senate. The Recission Act needs only 50 votes in the Senate to become law. Every call and email now makes a difference.
Your voice matters – especially now. Please call and email both your U.S. Senators today!
Federal support for public media costs just $1.60 per person each year. Eliminating this funding would have a devastating impact on local journalism, original video series, community events and more, right here at home.
I hope we can count on you to join us in taking action today.

P.S. If you are part of the Cascade PBS community in Canada, you can still make an impact by helping us spread the word. Talk to your family, friends and neighbors about the importance of public media and what public media means to you. Learn more and stay updated by visiting ProtectMyPublicMedia.org.
