On Friday, President Trump issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR, the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.
This is a pivotal moment for public media as we work to keep our essential programs and services funded, so that they are available to you and millions.
NPR reports stories that keep you informed, every day, without fear or favor. That is the promise of a free press in a democracy. It's in the First Amendment.
NPR remains unwavering in our commitment to serving the American public. We are proud to be here for you. Now, we need you to be here for us.
Your voluntary financial support is essential on the road ahead. Your dollars are a declaration that you value ensuring factual journalism and creative storytelling are available to everyone.
It's time to join the movement to defend public media.
With rising paywalls and closing news services, fewer media outlets are providing high-quality information to those who can’t pay. The NPR Network is a vital lifeline, leveraging its newsrooms in all 50 states to keep millions of people informed–free of charge.
“I listen to NPR daily. I believe high-quality journalism is the fourth branch of our democracy. Your mission is essential."
