Community radio empowers me, and KBOO has empowered community broadcasters since 1968. Unlike direct service nonprofits, the benefits that come from community radio stations can feel abstract! However, as someone whose life has fundamentally changed since first volunteering at KBOO, I can speak to the importance of radio stations that teach people broadcast skills (at no cost) and help inspire a freer media landscape. While commercial media tells you how to think, buy, and vote, independent media fosters civil, critical thought.
I don't want to imagine a world where I'm not really free to think or speak. That's why I'm inspired to give to KBOO Community Radio — which is located in Portland, Ore., but is part of a world-wide movement!
