Become a Monthly Sustainer

Less than Netflix, more independence. Choose your amount on the right.

When Walmart wanted worker strike coverage killed, corporate stations complied. When big money tried to silence Gaza reporting from all sides, ad-funded media went quiet. We covered both because we answer to listeners, not advertisers.

KPFK also means the housing meeting nobody else will attend, the community garden fighting city hall, the local band that deserves airtime. Independence isn't just about big stories—it's about the small ones that matter to your neighborhood.
