Tell Congress: Protect Public Media Funding. Act now.

A proposal to claw back funds for public media has already passed the House of Representatives. Montana Public Radio and stations across the country receive critical federal funds to strengthen our work. The Senate could vote on the proposal in the coming days. To add your voice in support of Montana Public Radio visit Protect My Public Media.

The fur and feathers start flying during Pet Wars at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 24. Tune in and make your pet pledge.
