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 is expected to make an announcement today about Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has yet to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine despite repeated attempts by the Trump administration.
Trump spoke to reporters last night as NPR's Elena Moore reports.
Trump avoided directly answering a question on whether he would impose sanctions on Russia.
Instead, he issued a new rebuke of the Kremlin's leader.
somebody that meant what he said and he'll talk so beautifully and then he'll bomb people at night.
We don't like that.
Trump's comments come days after he told NBC News that he would make a major statement regarding Russia.
Congress also wants the president to crack down on Putin.
There's a bipartisan effort in the Senate that would give Trump what Republican Senator Lindsey Graham described as a sledgehammer to go after Putin and the Russian economy.
