UPDATE - Jan 6, 2026 While the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's Board of Directors voted to dissolve CPB today, PBS SoCal is still here, serving the Southern California community. Thanks to Viewers Like You, we've received generous support in the months since the government voted to defund public media. We're proud to serve as the PBS member station for more than 22 million people and look forward continuing our service to you for many years to come. To help bolster our efforts, you can donate to PBS SoCal at the link in our bio. * * * Despite an extraordinary outpouring of public support—including nearly 100,000 calls and 2.9 million emails—Congress voted to eliminate $1.1 billion in previously approved federal funding for public media. For PBS SoCal and other stations across the country, these cuts will have real, lasting consequences for the communities we serve. But our work continues. PBS SoCal remains dedicated to our mission to educate, inform and inspire the 18 million+ people who call Southern California home. We will continue serving our vital role in this community today, tomorrow, and in the years to come, as we build a new future for public media, without the long-time federal support that helped create the public broadcasting system as we know it today. Alongside Viewers Like You, we’ll chart a path forward—because public media is too important to lose. We need to be ready for what's next. Your support is more important than ever. Will you help us build a new and bright public media future? Visit the link in our bio to support PBS SoCal. 18 Jul 2025 Last night, President Trump signed an executive order directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to eliminate federal funding to PBS and NPR. PBS SoCal has proudly served Southern California for over 60 years — and we’re committed to being here for generations to come. But protecting the future of Public Media requires all of us. Your support matters now more than ever — and it will likely be needed again in the months ahead as we continue to defend the essential services public media provides. If you stand with Public Media, please share this image and visit @mypublicmedia to learn how you can continue to support us. 02 May 2025 The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 aimed to give “a stronger voice to educational radio and television.” As a result, Public Media (non-commercial television and radio) stations around the country began to fulfill a collective mission to "educate, inform, and inspire." For 60+ years, PBS SoCal has been an indispensable part of our Southern California communities, providing free, high-quality content and services, because we exist to serve the public good. As threats to public media funding grow, the future of local stations like ours is at risk. Your voice can make a difference—stand with PBS SoCal to remind lawmakers that public media is essential. Click the link in our bio to learn how you can help defend this essential service for future generations. 01 Feb 2025 Today, @shg1970 celebrates its 53 annual Día de los Muertos Celebration. 💀 But did you ever wonder what the very first celebration, in 1973, was like? Spoiler: it was quite different than what you might see today!

Learn more about Wafa Ghreir and Kobee Factory on The Migrant Kitchen at the link in our bio. 04 Nov 2026 If you’re voting in-person in LA County today, here’s one way to cut down on your time at the voting center. LA County’s poll pass allows you to fill out your sample ballot online and load it on a Voting Center machine. Step by step here ⬆️. If you have any confusion at the vote center, a poll worker can help you out. Polls in LA County close at 8 (but if you’re in line at that time you’ll be allowed to vote). Don’t forget to take a sticker on the way out, and wear it with pride! #vote #vote2026 03 Nov 2026 This year, California voters have two “bond propositions” on our ballots — Props 1 and 38. And if you’re wondering what it means to “authorize” a bond, and how those bonds work, so are a lot of other voters. @bensheehan, host of @pbs’ Civics Made Easy explains all that, plus the pros and cons of a state using bonds to pay for projects. For more election info, click the link in @PBSSoCal’s bio and for more Civics explainers follow Ben and check out Civics Made Easy on PBS’ YouTube channel. Este año, los votantes de California tenemos dos “propuestas de bonos” en nuestras boletas electorales: las Propuestas 1 y 38. Y si te estás preguntando qué significa “autorizar” un bono y cómo funcionan esos bonos, hay muchos otros votantes que también se lo preguntan. Ben Sheehan, presentador del programa “Civics Made Easy” de PBS, te lo explica todo, además de las ventajas y desventajas de que un estado utilice bonos para financiar proyectos. Si quieres más información sobre las elecciones, haz clic en el enlace de la biografía de PBSSoCal y, si te interesan más contenidos sobre educación cívica, sigue a Ben y no te pierdas “Civics Made Easy” en el canal de YouTube de PBS. 01 Nov 2026 California’s ballot measures Props 40, 41 and 42 all pertain to taxes. And the passage or failure of any one could have implications on the others. It’s no surprises that many of you told us you needed more information on these measures. @bensheehan host of @PBS’ Civics Made Easy explains how the measures would each work if passed. Las Propuestas 40, 41 y 42 en la boleta electoral de California tienen que ver con los impuestos. Y la aprobación o el rechazo de cualquiera de ellas podría afectar a las demás. Como era de esperar, muchos de ustedes nos dijeron que necesitaban más información sobre estas propuestas. Ben Sheehan, presentador del programa “Civics Made Easy” de PBS, explica cómo funcionaría cada una de las propuestas si se aprobaran. 31 Oct 2026 Depending on where you live, upwards of half your ballot in 2026 may be judges. And if you're unclear on how the positions differ, you're not alone. @BenSheehan, host of @PBS' Civics Made Easy explains what those judges do and how they each get—and retain—their seats. Dependiendo de dónde vivas, es posible que más de la mitad de tu boleta electoral en 2026 esté dedicada a jueces. Y si no tienes claro en qué se diferencian estos cargos, no eres la única persona. @BenSheehan, presentador del programa "Civics Made Easy" de @PBS, explica qué hacen esos jueces y cómo consiguen —y conservan— sus cargos. 30 Oct 2026 The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires some projects to go through an environmental review before they’re built. Now that law is at the center of a proposition on this year’s ballot. La Ley de Calidad Ambiental de California (CEQA, por sus siglas en inglés) exige que algunos proyectos se sometan a una evaluación ambiental antes de su construcción. Actualmente, esta ley es el enfoque de una propuesta en la boleta electoral de este año. 29 Oct 2026 Today, we're remembering labor and civil rights activist Dolores Huerta, who has passed away at the age of 96. Huerta co-founded the National Farm Workers Association, now known as the United Farm Workers. She organized strikes and negotiated contracts, helping farmworkers gain job security, healthcare and better labor conditions, among other benefits. Her work also helped lead to the passage of the California Agricultural Labor Relations Act of 1975, the first law that gave U.S. farmworkers collective bargaining rights. If you'd like to honor Dolores Huerta's legacy, here is some recommended programming, available on the PBS app: 🍇 @independentlens - "Dolores" 🇺🇸 "American Historia" - Episode Three 🎥 @pbsamericanmasters - "American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez" ✊ "Of the People: Women of the Civil Rights Movement" 28 Oct 2026 We're a week from November!
