Just 10% of our audience financially supports the programming you turn to on WITF. Today, facing the loss of $1.3 million in federal funding, we are turning to the 90% who watch or listen every day but haven’t made a gift (yet).

We hope you will consider making a gift today at https://buff.ly/gHt2dgD!

Every single gift makes a difference, whether it’s $5 or $500. Your gift supports the programs you love, important community conversations, and local news and information.

We're having a little , when Ken Burns first chronicled the creation and history of the Statue of Liberty and what it represents to all Americans.

Stream "The Statue of Liberty" FREE with the PBS app until August 31! https://buff.ly/nG5iPHz

The film traces the development of the monument — from its conception and construction to its final dedication — and interviews Americans to explore what the statue means to them.

This month, Ken Burns' two-part documentary, "Thomas Jefferson," is available to stream for FREE with the PBS app. Watch it now: https://buff.ly/tXmdTMn

Thomas Jefferson embodies the most profound contradictions of American history. As the author of the Declaration of Independence, he gave voice to our most fervent desire for freedom, but he also owned more than 150 slaves and never saw fit to free them. "Thomas Jefferson is a portrait of our enigmatic third president.

With the loss of federal funding, we did a little math. We found that if every WITF Sustaining Circle Member would increase their monthly gift by as little as $12, we could close the $1.3 million revenue gap that we're now facing — just like that.

If you’re already a sustainer, visit https://buff.ly/zkxP7pF to grow your gift by whatever amount fits your budget.
