"At a time when civic trust is fraying, public media provides Americans with reliable, local reporting and information that empowers citizens to participate in decisions that affect their lives.

"Public media is a national asset. Let’s strengthen public media – not dismantle it." — Ruby Calvert, CPB Board Chair

🚨 Public media is in jeopardy—and so is everything Vegas PBS provides to Southern Nevada.

For decades, we’ve offered more than just television:

📚 Free early childhood education and literacy support
💼 Career training and job readiness for Nevadans
♿ Accessible educational materials for people with special needs
🎓 Resources for teachers, students, and lifelong learners
📺 Trusted, commercial-free content for all ages

These aren’t luxuries. They’re lifelines.

Vegas PBS is built on the belief that everyone deserves access to education and opportunity — regardless of income, background, or ability.

Now that mission is at risk.

📢 Help us protect it. Visit www.vegaspbs.org/protect to make your voice heard.
