One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.

The red tier is here, and with it new reopenings and rule changes, entry screening protocols, and ventilation, filtration and indoor air quality requirements.

Here's what's to know about where you can go. But keep in mind, just because something can reopen doesn't mean it has reopened.
