Congress defunds public media: How to help KCRW Only July 17, Congress voted to rescind federal funding for public broadcasting. The bill is now headed to the President’s desk and will be signed into law very soon. After that, federal funding for KCRW and the entire network will disappear on October 1. We are devastated. But we will not be deterred. This moment cannot be the end of the fight for independent public media.

Hi there, NPR and KCRW have a mission to serve the American people. And there really is no other media with that mission. Behaviors are changing. People are listening to the radio less. Maybe you find your own habits changing. But that makes KCRW's mission to meet our community wherever you are that much more important. I really believe we're facing a true threat - to our funding, to human-powered information, to our shared humanity. Public media is free for everyone.

Hi there, First of all, I want to say thank you for being part of the KCRW community. It's the end of the year - KCRW's Season of Giving Back - and I'm reaching out to ask you to make a tax-deductible year-end donation to KCRW.
