When VOA was silenced, our adversaries quickly moved in. In Africa, the Kremlin has doubled down on its disinformation and propaganda, targeting the continent's youth, taking advantage of rapid digital expansion and low literacy rates. Read more 👇

VOA has covered all of Xi Jinping’s previous meeting with American presidents since Barack Obama, but this year we are silenced. It’s not just a loss to VOA global audiences. It’s a missed opportunity for the Trump admin and a setback for American soft power. 👇

Without VOA, young Africans are hearing more news from China and Russia, and less from America. That means fewer chances to hear both sides of the story.

Just days after a federal court ordered a pause on mass layoffs at VOA, all VOA staff have been furloughed in response to the government shutdown. This is a sharp departure from past practice, when VOA remained on the air due to our role in foreign relations essential for U.S. national security.

A judge just stopped a plan that would’ve cut over 500 jobs from Voice of America.
Judge Royce Lamberth ruled that the agency cannot move forward with its planned mass layoffs.
The move was set to take effect Tuesday, but for now, it’s on hold.
A small win in our bigger battle.
