Hi John,

I’m Marisa Lagos, co-host of Political Breakdown, and if you haven’t heard yet, #GivingNewsDay at KQED is almost over.

GivingTuesday is about giving back, and at KQED we’re celebrating you. Your generosity makes it possible for us to deliver reliable, community-focused news to everyone in our region. Thank you for your support!

Right now, until midnight tonight, your first gift to KQED will go twice as far. A generous group of anonymous donors has offered to match all gifts dollar for dollar to help us reach our goal of raising $50,000 for independent journalism in Northern California.

Members are the reason KQED can go beyond headlines and political soundbites. We bring you inspiring and fact-driven programming with a local perspective. I’m grateful that you are part of our community. I hope we can welcome you as a KQED member soon.

When you become a KQED member today, your first gift will be matched, doubling your support for local and commercial-free broadcasting in Northern California.

Thank you for your generosity.

P.S. Member support keeps public media strong in our community. Donate before the midnight deadline to have your gift matched for #GivingNewsDay.
