So the government just defunded PBS and NPR which is fucked. That being said, the public can cover the damage if we orginize and donate.

Only about $1.60 of tax dollars per US citizen per year are spent on the public broadcasting budget. NPR and PBS offer beong able to make small monthly donations, some being 7$ per month or lower if you want.

If you want to donate 1.60$ per month to your local station, you can multiply how much funding they get from you by 12. If you do their monthly donation of $7 per month, your donation can equal the tax dollars of 54 people spent on public broadcasting per year.

If you want to donate to your local station, look them up by your town here to make sure your local stations get helped specifically:

The $60 can be a one time donation (access for a year) or $5 a month. (Or of course, you donate more if you have it.)

Passport streams all the PBS programming, so documentaries, mysteries, musical programs, and news that you can get through PBS. Like Grantchester or Wolf Hall or other period dramas, or Ken Burns docs, or cooking shows, travel shows, Lucy Worsley stuff, mysteries, Jane Austen. All the nerdy things!

You also will occasionally get notices about local events where you, as a PBS member, can get in free or discounted to museums or concerts in your area.

This is just a bonus. You can also just donate whatever, whenever you feel like it.

You select a local PBS station but your donation goes across the entire system. You can do monthly or one time.
