At the formal request of President Trump, the House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass a bill that would strip away $1.1 billion in already-approved funding for public media — funding that was signed into law and that more than 1,500 stations across the country, including KUNR Public Radio, rely on.

This is a critical moment. Keep KUNR strong and independent, no matter what happens in Washington, by making an emergency donation today at KUNR.com/make-a-gift or consider increasing your sustaining membership by calling KUNR at (775) 327-5867.
