VPM and stations like it across Virginia are at risk of losing $1.1 billion in already approved funding. That’s funding that supports trusted journalism, local storytelling, educational programming and the vital connection public media brings to every community, especially rural areas.

🎥 Hear from VPM CEO, Jayme Swain about what is at stake and why it matters now more than ever.

Your voice can help protect these essential services. Visit https://bit.ly/3YJAzH8 to contact your senators and urge them to vote no on the rescissions bill.

We need public media. And public media needs you.

This is "Message from Jayme Swain, President & CEO, VPM: Funding Value" by VPM on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.
