Dear John,
Together, we’re making radio history in the state of California: Today is California Public Radio Day, and we’re asking for your partnership to make this important day a success.
Public radio in California highlights local voices and serves as a trusted source for community-focused conversations and fact-checked news. Local independent radio gives you a way to think critically with a wide range of perspectives, discover new programming, music and community events and connect with millions of other listeners across the state to learn together and celebrate this special place where we live.
Public radio is free to all — because listeners like you support it. We hope you’ll join your fellow Californians to help boost this critical service and share your love for independent radio.
Please take a moment to support your local public radio station, KQED, by donating now on California Public Radio Day.
California is a collection of vibrant communities, big and small, which together form one of the most populous and most diverse states in the nation. Each community has unique perspectives and voices, and it’s thanks to community members like you that those stories can be heard and amplified in and beyond California.
With your gift in any amount, you’ll be sent a limited-edition window cling featuring a great new design by California artist Rob Romero. And at $10/month or more, you can sport this great design on an all-new, one-of-a-kind tote bag!

P.S. You can go the extra mile and forward this email to a friend. This one-day fundraiser needs the strength of our community to succeed, so think of the person in your life who listens to the radio the most and forward this message along to them! No matter where they are, you can help them appreciate the value of fact-driven, community-powered public media.
