Having resisted corporate media, and kept the community connected since 1987, we need to call on you, the community, to support us more than ever.

Just a few months since Congress cut all future funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which makes up over 30% of our annual budget, KMUD Redwood Community Radio stays rooted strong this year in our Fall membership drive.

❗Services like KMUD News would be the first to be cut if we do not reach our fundraising goals by mid 2026, help keep people powered community radio alive❗

Donate or secure a membership online at KMUD.org (link in bio), or call in at (707) 923-3911 anytime until October 3rd.
