Public radio isn’t just a station—it’s a stage.⁠
⁠
🎼 It’s where genres like classical, jazz, blues, folk, and Americana live and breathe. It’s how local artists find audiences, how culture is preserved, and how communities stay connected through music.⁠
⁠
Now, ...that stage is at risk. The White House is proposing to cut funding that keeps these stations alive.⁠
⁠
🎤 Tell Congress to reject the proposal and keep the music playing.⁠

At the 2025 NON-COMMvention, public radio leaders gathered to celebrate the music, community, and shared mission that define noncommercial music — but this year’s event carried a clear sense of urgency.⁠
⁠
NPR’s Marta McLellan Ross addressed the growing threats to public media, ...including proposed budget cuts and the potential rollback of already-approved federal funds. These resources are vital — not just for programming, but for music licensing, local journalism, and the ability to reach rural and underserved communities. Without them, the future of public radio as we know it is at risk.⁠
⁠
Her message was clear: now is the time for action. Whether through community outreach, sharing local impact stories, or engaging decision-makers, public media supporters have a critical role to play in protecting this unique and essential service. ⁠
