The House voted to rescind Federal funding. Here's what you can do.

Title: The House voted to rescind Federal funding. Here's what you can do.
Runtime: 1:01
Date posted: 1 year ago
Description: On June 12, the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of a proposal from the White House to rescind two years of already-approved federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). This includes funding that helps support local stations like Detroit PBS and 90.9 WRCJ.

What is the Rescission Proposal?
The proposal would eliminate advance funding for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, funding that public media stations across the country rely on to plan, produce, and deliver trusted content, educational services, and community programs.

Why It Matters
For Detroit PBS and 90.9 WRCJ, these cuts would mean the loss of approximately $3 million annually, impacting:

-PBS KIDS programming that supports early childhood learning
-Local journalism and storytelling through shows like American Black Journal and One Detroit
-Classical and jazz programming on 90.9 WRCJ
-Educational initiatives and community outreach a...
