My America: John Leguizamo
All this week, in honor of Independence Day, we’re airing a series of reports titled My America. We’ll be speaking to leading figures in politics, culture, media and the arts, and we’re asking what being American means to them. We’ve also had quite a few listeners – as well as our producers and hosts – weigh in! This is the contribution from John Leguizamo, Golden Globe-nominated actor, currently starring in the one-man Broadway show “Ghetto Klown,” which is running through July 10th.
Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.
Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
