The U.S. House voted last week to claw back $1.1 billion in already-approved funding for public media. The bill now moves to the Senate, where only 50 votes are needed to make these funding cuts a reality — funding that 1,500 stations across the country, including KUNR, rely on.
We don’t know what the Senate will do. But we do know this: We need your support now.
Keep KUNR strong and independent, no matter what happens in Washington, by becoming a monthly donor today at KUNR.com/make-a-gift or increasing your monthly donation by calling KUNR at (775) 327-5867.
