NPR and PBS’ leaders testify today
| John,
Right now, lawmakers are holding a hearing that could affect the future of NPR, PBS, KQED and public media stations across the country.
Opponents of public media are challenging the independent journalism, educational programming and emergency broadcasting that millions of people across the country rely on.
We need your support today. If you’ve already donated, thank you. Please consider forwarding this message to a friend. If you haven’t yet, we need your help. Make a gift now to ensure local public media remains strong and accessible to all.
Every contribution makes a difference during this critical moment for KQED. |

| | Dear John,
Tomorrow, the CEOs of NPR and PBS will testify before the House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency in Washington, D.C. The hearing, titled “Anti-American Airwaves,” aims to undermine the integrity of the entire public media system. It seeks to turn public trust against this vital national and local partnership, and the impacts would be felt in local communities across this nation. This hearing could drastically affect KQED’s future and our service to the community. Which is why we need your support to help us remain strong and sustainable in the face of these attacks.
KQED exists to serve you and everyone in our communities — providing fact-based journalism, lifelong learning and essential public safety services. Over half of Bay Area residents turn to KQED each week to stay informed, educated and safe. But efforts to weaken public media put these vital programs at risk. Will you make a gift today to help ensure KQED can continue providing these essential services?
What’s at risk? |
|
| |
| • | The ability for public radio and television stations to serve nearly 99% of the United States, including the most remote communities, with high-quality, non-commercial programming and services every day. |
| | • | Free educational programs, resources and content that enrich millions of lives — including the nation’s largest nonprofit GED program and most trusted children’s educational television programming. |
| | • | Broadcast infrastructure that provides geo-targeted wireless emergency alerts to help our communities navigate public safety emergencies. |
| | • | National programs from PBS and NPR you trust and love. |
| | • | Credible, independent news sources that strengthen democracy. |
|
