The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced today that it will begin phasing out its operations, following Congress’s recent decision to revoke previously allocated federal funding. CPB said it is initiating an “orderly wind-down” after nearly six decades.

This ICJ ruling proves what we’ve been saying: democracy and climate are one fight. Nations have a legal obligation to act. Now we organize to make them honor it. From international law to local power. 🌍⚖️ #ClimateAction #Democracy #CommunityPower #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #ClimateJustice
