Dear WAMU Supporter,

Over this past week, nearly 5,000 WAMU listeners stepped forward to become members or renew their support for this vital community resource and helped to secure the foundation of our public radio home.

If you missed out on your chance to join them, there’s still time!

Throughout 2020, generous support from members across the Washington, D.C. region has allowed WAMU to thrive during this tumultuous year of change and social distancing. It has also enabled our dedicated team to bring even more of the essential, locally focused news you need. With this expanded coverage, there are now more ways you can engage with WAMU and friends and neighbors across our community.

Now with only weeks to go before pivotal elections and facing the ongoing impact of the pandemic, WAMU and NPR will continue to be your trusted source for the fact-based news and analysis you’ve come to expect. Individual support from members ensures that WAMU will be freely available to listeners across our region at a time when clarity and context is needed more than ever.

The entire staff at WAMU is deeply grateful for the members who have stepped up to protect strong, independent journalism in this time of crisis. Don’t miss out on becoming part of this civic community…step forward and join with us today.

With sincere gratitude, Diane Rehm Host, On My Mind & Chair, 1961 Society
