The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would eliminate all federal funding for public media that's already approved by law. The Senate has until July 18 to act on this measure. Meaning there is still time to make your voice heard to urge them to vote against the bill. This funding – about $1.60 per person each year would dismantle essential services that countless communities count on.
