Tell Congress: Stop the Dismantling of Voice of America

The Trump administration is gutting America's primary tool for countering authoritarian propaganda worldwide.

The Voice of America broadcasts truth to 427 million people living under repressive regimes, but now Trump is eliminating 532 jobs at Voice of America and its parent agency. It’s reckless and a threat to freedom everywhere.

• Federal courts have already blocked these cuts as "plainly contrary to law," yet the administration continues its assault on this vital agency that has operated since World War II.

• Republican Congresswoman Young Kim warns we're "ceding the airwaves to foreign dictators" at a time when America faces an unprecedented information war against authoritarian regimes.

• These mass layoffs will silence the voice that reaches people in Iran, North Korea, China, and Cuba—exactly what dictators want while they spread disinformation.

Tell Congress: America's voice abroad cannot be silenced by partisan politics.

When we abandon the information battlefield, authoritarians win and democracy loses worldwide.
