Hey, Lauren Einhorn here. I’m the Digital Philanthropy Manager at NPR. I had a front-row seat to the incredible swell of grassroots support for public media when we lost federal funding last year.

Now the NPR Network is in our second year without federal funding, and we need you again. To ensure this service doesn’t just survive, but thrives, we need this community to continue contributing financially.

I’ve taken a lot of approaches to explaining our work and why it's worth supporting, but this community really says it best.

The need for a free press that stands for truth against power. And, of course, the insightful common sense and human-interest news you bring to your audience.

— Gordon G., Scottsdale, AZ

I’ll protect this free press ➔

Freedom of the press and our democracy are under threat in the U.S. and are being actively suppressed. Journalism and journalists must be supported in a democracy!

— Audrey E., Aspen, CO

I support First Amendment rights ➔

I have been listening to Up First most mornings for a couple of years… I figured regular, monthly support would help more than just donating once a year.

— Susanne H., Maynard, MA

I’ll join this growing movement ➔

Independent journalism is a light for democracies. We need to have information on what's happening that's not adhering to the interests of a few wealthy people.

— Brendan M., Somerville, MA

I’ll power independent journalism ➔

We need to know the truth about what is happening in our country and around the world to be informed citizens and make the right decisions to live in a world where all people can thrive.

— Patricia L., Takoma Park, MD

I’ll ensure our right to know ➔

This community sustains, transforms and grows this essential service. And together, we build what comes next.

If everyone who received this email committed to giving just $5 a month to the NPR Network, we would surpass our fundraising goal and sustain this free press. Can you begin a monthly gift today?

I’ll commit to giving monthly ➔

Power to the public,

Lauren Einhorn
Digital Philanthropy Manager

P.S. When you start a $5 monthly gift today, we’ll send you our limited edition “Power to the Public” pin to say “thank you”. You’ll get to protect this free press and show off your support for public media.
