Jason– This is a difficult email to write.

We’ve been emailing you for weeks about how important it is to SAVE public broadcasting networks like PBS and NPR, but we’re still dangerously behind our goal.
So Progressive Turnout Project is launching an emergency Public Broadcasting Defense Membership to help protect public media networks like PBS and NPR from Trump’s extreme MAGA agenda. If you care at all about protecting accessible journalism, rush $5 to become a founding member and we’ll 400%-MATCH your contribution:
Progressive Turnout Project Public Broadcasting Defense Membership
400%-MATCH $5 NOW →
400%-MATCH $25 NOW →
Or donate another amount  →
Jason – We’ll be brutally honest.

MAGA Republicans’ disastrous budget cuts mean PBS and NPR could be GONE within a matter of weeks if Democrats don’t act now.

That’s why brilliant Democrats have SOUNDED the alarm over Trump’s baseless attacks on their valuable educational programming!
Ken Burns: Public broadcasting is the Declaration of Independence applied to communications. It's that central to our definition. It's such a purely American expression.
Bernie Sanders: Trump, like all authoritarians, doesn't like criticism or objective reporting. He just wants to be flattered. That's why he wants to defund NPR and PBS. If democracy is to survive we need a strong, independent media. I will vote to support public broadcasting.
Rick Steves: I stand with PBS and its member stations against those that threaten their ability to serve communities throughout this country with independent, non-partisan programming
Make no mistake: Trump and MAGA Republicans want to SLASH trustworthy public broadcasting to increase viewership on slimy networks like Fox News. But we won’t stand for it.
Jason – This is our last-ditch attempt to SAVE Public Broadcasting from the hands of corrupt MAGA allies who want nothing more than to silence their opposition. We’re counting on the support of California Democrats, so please chip in $5 or anything you can afford to become a Founding Member of Progressive Turnout Project’s Public Broadcasting Defense Membership.
400%-MATCH $5 NOW →
400%-MATCH $25 NOW →
400%-MATCH $50 NOW →
400%-MATCH $100 NOW →
400%-MATCH $500 NOW →
Or donate another amount  →
We can’t do this without you,

Thank you for supporting the Progressive Turnout Project. We’re a 100% grassroots-funded organization with a single mission: rallying Democrats to exercise their right to vote.

Our Mission: Rally Democrats to Vote.
DONATE TO BOOST DEMOCRATIC VOTER TURNOUT ➞
The best way to turn out voters is with one-on-one conversations.

Progressive Turnout Project is built around this truth, proven time and time again by researchers — including us. On average, our field work boosts voter turnout by more than 10 percent.

How are we different from everyone else sending you emails?

Our Turnout Teams talk to inconsistent voters who are likely Democrats, so they don’t need persuading on who to vote for. They just need a nudge, some information, and to hear from a real person. That means every eligible non-voter we’re able to reach brings Democrats closer to success on Election Day.

Compared to expensive TV ads, research has proven we have a much larger impact for our investment. Jason, that's why we send you so many emails. The success of our work can make or break an election. And we're entirely funded by grassroots donors.

From the entire Progressive Turnout Team, thank you for your support!
