WATCH: Ed Markey is fighting to defend PBS from the Trump administration’s disastrous budget cuts. Trump is going after the critical funding that allows iconic shows like Clifford the Big Red Dog and Arthur to air for free for thousands of children to learn from and enjoy. PBS doesn’t just provide entertainment; it provides education to our children and is a foundational pillar of our nation’s culture. We must come together in defense of PBS. Please join me by signing my petition to save PBS from funding cuts.
