Voice of America silenced for the first time in 83 years

Since President Donald Trump issued his March 14, 2025, executive order that effectively began dismantling the Voice of America, the federally-funded broadcaster has lost almost all of its more than 360 million weekly global audience. Before the order, VOA produced about 2,400 hours of content each week across radio, television and digital — in 49 languages. Now, it is producing minimal content in just eight languages. The quantity and quality of the content is a shadow of what it was. Nearly all VOA journalists have either been fired or placed on administrative leave. We need your help to show that a free press matters.

Contact Congress

Contact your representatives and urge them to fully restore VOA’s global operations. Tell them that America is stronger when those who live in countries with repressive governments can still get truthful information about the U.S. and the world.
