Congress must restore funding for PBS and NPR – which Americans consistently rank as the most trustworthy networks for news and public affairs.
Attacks on PBS and NPR are attempts to silence independent media. We must protect free, fact-based journalism and ensure access to trusted programming for all Americans.

Members of Congress must defend our First Amendment rights.
We urge you to speak out against Trump and Miller’s dangerous National Security Presidential Memorandum on Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence (NSPM-7), pass legislation to defend the First Amendment, and investigate these dangerous abuses of power.
We cannot let this administration silence the American people.
Thank you for refusing to parrot Trump and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s partisan shutdown propaganda.
We need more leadership like this – and less complying in advance with Trump’s dictator-like demands. We urge you to hold firm.
All Trump loyalists in the DOJ must recuse themselves from decisions about Trump’s $230 million administrative claims – including Trump’s personal lawyer Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
And our members of Congress must loudly condemn this scheme and pass legislation to make it illegal for White House officials to seek settlements from the DOJ while in office.
The Trump administration must immediately use the USDA’s emergency funds to keep SNAP running.
Every day you delay using these funds means more children going to bed hungry, more veterans skipping meals, and more seniors wondering how they’ll get through the week.
We demand you stop treating hungry Americans like pawns in your political games.
No writing $500,000 checks to yourselves! Repeal Senate Republicans’ self-serving cash grab now.
Investigators shouldn’t have to worry about political retaliation or costing taxpayers huge sums of money just for doing their jobs. And elected officials should NOT be profiting off the people they serve.
A free, independent media is a First Amendment guarantee that’s essential to democracy – helping expose corruption, hold leaders accountable, and inform the public.
NBC and Comcast must hold firm, defend democracy and free speech, and keep Seth Meyers on the air. Don’t surrender to Trump.
Congress must reject attempts to sneak a dangerous ban on all state-level regulation on artificial intelligence (AI) into the National Defense Authorization Act.
States have stepped up where Congress has failed. A vast majority of states – red, blue, and purple – have passed commonsense protections to make sure ordinary people aren’t left behind or deceived by AI.
Congress should be protecting us against the dangers AI poses – NOT giving Big Tech unchecked power.
Trump has accused multiple Democratic lawmakers of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” – and reshared a post that called for them to be hanged.
These threats on your own colleagues can’t go unanswered. We urge you to condemn Trump’s disgusting rhetoric and make it clear that violence has no place in our politics.
Our media should be holding the powerful accountable – not bowing to them. We urge you to reject Trump’s blacklist and refuse to bend to political pressure.
Don’t be intimidated, defend free speech, and stand up for your journalists when they face attacks for doing their jobs.
Common Cause has spent 2025 proving that special interests are no match for our people-powered movement that began over 50 years ago.
From the halls of Congress to local election offices, we’ve built a movement that stands up to corruption, strengthens accountability, and protects the power of the people. And with your help, we can go even further.
