WATCH: I'm fighting to save public broadcasting from the Trump administration’s disastrous budget cuts. Trump has slashed critical funding that allows iconic shows such as Clifford the Big Red Dog and Arthur to air for free for countless children to learn from and enjoy. And the families that rely on PBS and NPR for free news and public service announcements are at risk of losing access to critical information, especially in rural areas. We must come together in defense of public broadcasting in the United States. Please join me by signing my petition to say you agree.

Ed Markey, here. Will you sign my petition to preserve and protect public broadcasting in the United States from the Trump administration's funding cuts? The Trump administration just terminated the federal grant program providing essential funding for PBS, NPR, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This is an attack on education and public information that will disproportionately affect low income families and Americans in rural areas. We MUST come together in defense of public broadcasting to save the programs we and our children love. Join me by signing my petition here.
