“At a time when Americans are desperate for institutions they can trust, public broadcasting continues to deliver − with integrity, with reach, and with deep community roots. Congress should reject calls to defund NPR and PBS. Not as a partisan statement, but as a commitment to democracy itself.”

“The power to create change isn't lost — it's local. It lives in every single one of us. It rests in the hands of committed people working in their own communities, where the daily work of renewal continues.” This morning, we welcomed leaders to our largest #KMF yet. Watch here: kf.org/42ZwwJF

Still feeling inspired after hearing U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor in conversation with @knightfdn.bsky.social President & CEO @maribel-wadsworth.bsky.social. She reminded us that democracy thrives on our participation, dissent should be met with respect, and voting is our voice. 💙
