The alternative we need

Friend,
You know that KQED relies on the support of dedicated viewers, listeners, and readers like you. And before the end of 2018, we need your support to continue producing the independent, fact-based news that enriches and informs the lives of those around us.
Make your first charitable gift to KQED before midnight on December 31 to maintain quality public media for our community in 2019.
It has never been more important to have an independent alternative to commercial media – please donate today.
Sincerely,
