Give 'Em the Bird PBS Public Television Sticker

Give ’Em the Bird Sticker

A cheeky little protest piece with a powerful message. This 3-inch vinyl sticker borrows its boldness from a childhood icon—Big Bird—who’s perched proudly alongside the phrase “GIVE ’EM THE BIRD.” Below it reads: “Save PBS. Keep public television public.” Styled like a street sign from a certain famous block (hint: 123), this sticker is a nostalgic nod and a current call to action. Stick it on your laptop, water bottle, or protest sign—anywhere you want to take a stand for public access to education, creativity, and kindness.

Why It Matters:

This sticker isn’t just cute—it’s a warning.

Public media like PBS and NPR are under renewed attack, with the Trump administration once again threatening to slash funding. This isn’t just a line item in a budget. It’s a direct hit to free, accessible, high-quality programming that shapes generations. From Sesame Street to Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, public television has been a gentle, generous teacher in millions of living rooms—especially for families without access to expensive cable or streaming services.

PBS is where we learned to share, spell, count, and care. Where we met characters who looked different than us, and learned from voices that challenged us to grow. It is an essential tool for equity, early education, and public trust—not something to be gutted to score political points.

So go ahead: give ’em the bird. Not out of anger, but out of love—for learning, for equity, for a better, brighter, more colorful world where access to information isn’t a privilege, but a right.

Because when we save public television, we save a little bit of childhood for everyone.
