Public Media is Facing an Unprecedented Threat, Help Us End our Fiscal Year Strong

The House of Representatives voted to pass a bill that will strip away $1.9 million in already-approved funding for WHRO Public Media— funding that was signed into law for stations across the country and for WHRO.

What’s next? 

The bill now heads to the U.S. Senate, and if passed, it will be signed into law by the President, and the funding will be gone for good. That means the threat is not only real — it’s urgent.

This is a reversal of a promise, disrupting a funding agreement we relied on—a move that will jeopardize education, emergency alerts, and access to information for the people we serve.
