Where we stand

While a federal judge has ruled that President Donald Trump’s former executive order to defund NPR and PBS is unconstitutional, the decision does not restore federal funding for local stations.

That means for stations like WAER, federal support is still not coming back. Listener support remains essential to sustaining the independent, fact-based journalism and community programming you rely on.

Supporting public media means supporting our community. We’re deeply grateful to our listeners for standing by us and continuing to fuel our mission. Your trust and generosity make this work possible and your support matters now more than ever.
