The House of Representatives has approved a White House request to claw back two years of previously approved funding for public media.
The rescissions package now moves on to the Senate.
This move poses a serious threat to local stations and public media as we know it.
Please take a stand for public media today at GoACPR.org.
Thank you.

President Trump says it would be difficult to ask Israel to call off its airstrikes on Iran,
but as NPR's Deepa Shivram reports,
Trump says he might be okay with a ceasefire while negotiations take place.
Trump says he might support a ceasefire during talks to negotiate the conflict between Israel and Iran,
which began one week ago when Israel attacked Iran with a wave of airstrikes.
He said Israel is, quote, doing well in terms of war,
and it's hard right now to make the request to Israel to stop their attacks.
Trump said Thursday he would decide whether or not the U.S. would get involved in the conflict and directly strike Iran,
quote, within two weeks.
He says the two-week period is to, quote, see whether or not people come to their senses.

President Trump is expected to return to the White House today,
a day after telling reporters at an airport in New Jersey that his National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard was wrong about Iran's nuclear capability.
She told Congress in March that there is no evidence Iran is building a nuclear weapon.
