Friend,

In today’s political climate, it’s never been more important to have an independent alternative to commercial media. On the politics team, we work hard to cut through the noise and offer smart, informed reporting, investigations and analysis. With you by our side, we will continue producing trusted news that helps keep all of Northern California informed.

Now is the best time for you to start supporting KQED. Make your first tax-deductible gift to KQED before midnight on December 31 to maintain quality public media for our community in 2019.

This holiday season, we’re relying on the support of listeners, readers and viewers like you.
