Music, Memory and Social Justice Starts Oct 12

WPFW has offered inspiring music, poignant stories and critical journalism for over 48 years. Whether reminiscing while hearing Nina Simone, or learning about the harm done due to gross global inequity, WPFW has been the soundtrack for moments of revelation, joy, sadness and resistance!

It’s your generosity that allows us to continue this tradition of expansive, emancipatory excellence in community radio.

We ask you to once again be in solidarity with WPFW during our Fall pledge drive by donating at wpfwfm.org, and additionally, from October 12 through the 26, at 800.222.9739.

There is only one WPFW, and only one you- the listener - who is committed to keeping independent music and message available to the people. Your generosity sustains and challenges us to build a better world one broadcast at a time!
