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.

President Trump's Mideast envoy, Steve Witkoff, is headed to Qatar,
where Israeli and Hamas officials are negotiating a ceasefire in Gaza.
Trump has said he's hopeful for a ceasefire deal this week.
NPR's Daniel Estrin reports from Tel Aviv.
A senior Israeli official told reporters that Israel and Hamas have resolved 80 to 90 percent of the terms of a ceasefire deal,
but that it could take more than just a few days to reach a final deal.
The agreement would include a 60-day ceasefire, exchanging hostages and prisoners.
The main disagreements include Israel's demand to keep troops in a corridor captured in recent months cutting across Gaza,
and Hamas's demand for guarantees that talks during a ceasefire lead to a final end of war.
Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met yesterday in the White House.
Trump said the U.S. will hold talks with Iran following the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear sites.
Netanyahu said he'd like a security pact and eventual peace between Israel and Syria.
