Renee Fleming Urges Public to Save PBS in Emotional Plea

Opera singer Renee Fleming is lending her voice to the fight to save PBS. In a short video posted on social media, Fleming urges viewers to take action to protect public broadcasting. "Most days, you love to listen to me sing," Fleming says. "But today, we need you to listen to me and go to protectmypublicmedia.org and tell your Senator to save @PBS." Fleming's video highlights the importance of PBS's role in providing trusted journalism, educational programs, and arts and cultural storytelling. The video is part of a broader campaign to encourage viewers to contact their elected officials and express their support for public broadcasting. The campaign website provides resources and tools to facilitate this action. The future of PBS funding is currently under discussion in Congress, making Fleming's appeal particularly timely.
