* KPFA is taking a break from fundraising this weekend, but we’d like to encourage you to still support us by pledging online. So why should you give your money to KPFA? Consider for a moment the impact that our programming has on activism locally, regionally, and even nationally, whether musicians — such as Free Peoples last Wednesday — playing live in our performance studio, or national broadcasts such at this week’s dissection of the Vice Presidential debate, where our message of peace and social justice is amplified through other Pacifica stations and affiliates around the country. Support that work by pledging on line at kpfa.org.
* KPFA provides critical and diverse views on so many issues. In a time when media has become less and less local, KPFA provides coverage of local issues that you won’t find anywhere else, as well as providing a venue for local, regional and national musicians whose work you should hear on other radio stations, but don’t. You can get all sorts of wonderful thank-you gifts, including many wonderful CDs, at KPFA.org. That’s kpfa.org. Thank you so much for your continued support of America’s first listener-sponsored radio station!
* Instead of full blown fundraising, we’re limiting our appeals to several minutes an hour. If you’re not yet a member of KPFA, think about the quality of today’s program and the incredible diversity of music, public affairs, and culture on this station. If you would like to play a crucial role in sustaining that diversity, become a member of KPFA. Go to kpfa.org. Help expand KPFA’s family in order to help us expand our reach, so that the important information and perspectives that you find here on KPFA — but not in the corporate media — is amplified to an ever-growing number of people. Help change the world by supporting the dissemination of vital music, culture and information on these airwaves. You can get almost all of the thank you gifts that we have offered during the past week and a half at kpfa.org.  Â
* We’re taking a break from regular fundraising, but we like to encourage you to support KPFA in a different manner, by appealing to you only briefly to pledge online at kpfa.org. Almost 60 years ago, KPFA was founded with a commitment creating a mass media outlet whose principal accountability was to the audience it serves–today, we’re asking you make a financial commitment to keeping that vision alive at kpfa.org.
* We’d particularly like to encourage the more than 60,000 people who listen online every month at kpfa.org to show your support for us by pledging securely at kpfa.org. Check out the many wonderful gifts you can get for your subscription to KPFA at kpfa.org. Of course, the most important thank you gift is KPFA itself – America’s first listener-sponsored radio station.
Thank you for keeping us strong!
