Congress is preparing to vote on a proposal that would eliminate federal funding for public media. This is a serious threat to the programs and services you value from KERA. Now is the time to make your voice heard. Learn how at kera.org/protect.

My local @kera.org / @keranews.org is asking for your help to protect public media. It's time, they need us, but even more so the rural stations that will go OFF THE AIR with cuts to @pbs.org and @npr.org. Many till have no local news source or warning about severe weather. www.kera.org/protect/

I guess I’ll be upping my monthly donation to @keranews.org / @kxt.org - my local NPR news & kickass radio stations - to keep them going strong. If you can afford to give to your local listener supported NPR &/or PBS station, please donate today. We can’t let independent news & arts programs die.

KERA connects North Texas with fact-based news, educational programming and local arts. But the federal funding that helps make our services possible is at risk. Learn how federal funding for public media works and show your support: kera.org/protect #protectmypublicmedia
