John,
Many of you have heard my voice on KQED for years, both anchoring newscasts and hosting Forum. We’re in a moment of unprecedented change and people are hungry for meaningful dialogue. So we decided to devote the second hour of Forum to looking at current affairs through the lens of race, justice and equity. I couldn’t be more excited and honored to help bring Forum to more audiences across the state—and to bring a wider range of voices to these conversations.
But I need your support to do it. Because you value local journalism and community dialogue, please consider becoming a monthly sustaining member today. As an added bonus, right now each new and increased sustaining member will unlock $100, helping us meet a special $30,000 challenge grant and ensuring we can provide a venue to raise the voices of our communities.
Voices like Maggie’s, a 10-year-old who called Forum in July to get information on the coronavirus. Maggie translated her parents’ question into English over the air, asking about the likelihood of reinfection. Our speakers that day were discussing the disproportionate effect of the pandemic on the Latino community, and we’re grateful Maggie turned to Forum to get the answers she and her family needed. |
