For some, the new year is an opportunity for resolutions and change. But for me – and my colleagues across the NPR Network – it’s another opportunity to serve you. We’ll keep showing up for you in the months ahead, just as you’ve shown up for us.
This community is the backbone of the NPR Network. Public media was the subject of a congressional hearing, an executive order and a rescission bill in 2025. Yet through it all, you rallied with us. You made your voice heard on social media and through phone calls to your congressional representatives. Then, you donated generously to help us navigate our first months without federal funding.
I’m completely blown away by how this community shows up for public media. Check out some of my favorite comments from recent supporters below!
If you’ve already donated — thank you! We’re extraordinarily grateful to have you by our side in 2026. If you haven’t given yet, it’s not too late! Your support means that we’ll be here for you tomorrow, and the next day and the day after that — for years on end.
