Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. It’s the beginning of a new chapter – but we’re not going anywhere.

NPR and its stations aren’t giving up, because listeners like you keep our mission alive. You believe in the value of giving voice to people who aren’t being heard. You know the importance of uplifting stories that explain how diverse we are as a nation. And you’re the reason why the American experience is worth reporting on, every day.
