Urge Congress: Save Public Media Funding
And here in Florida, Governor DeSantis has just vetoed $460,000 in state funding that WLRN relies on to serve South Florida. That’s nearly half a million dollars—gone with the stroke of a pen.
Save your local stations. Urge your lawmakers to oppose the rescissions package. This is more than a funding crisis. This is a coordinated effort to dismantle public broadcasting- which our democracy requires.
As a listener and/or viewer, your support is more vital than ever. We need your urgent action. If you count on WLRN—now is the moment to act. Here’s how you can help:
