How’s that for yelling fire in a crowded movie theater?\u00a0 Shameless, I know.<\/p>\n
This week I’m pulling out all the stops to get your attention, and your help.<\/p>\n
You’ve probably been hearing about the debate over taxpayer funding for PBS, public radio,\u00a0 and public media projects like the In Box.<\/p>\n
There’s a very real chance that we’ll take a serious financial hit.\u00a0 We’re doing everything we can to prepare and make sure we’re healthy and stable going forward.<\/p>\n
The good news is that there is something pretty direct and immediate that you can do.<\/p>\n
This spring, I need all you In Boxers to Text Ten to keep this blog, this conversation, and this community going.<\/p>\n
Here’s what that means:\u00a0 If you’ve never supported NCPR before, you can text us a quick $10 using your cell phone, to show that you’re with us in spirit.\u00a0\u00a0 That you get it and you get us.<\/p>\n
If you’re a regular and are already donating because of all the cool things NCPR does, consider adding another $10 contribution, just to support the In Box.<\/p>\n
Ten bucks for an entire year of the In Box?\u00a0 It won’t be a big hit to your budget and the money adds up fast if enough people join together.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also super quick and easy.\u00a0 Here\u2019s what to do: Text the message NCPR to the phone number 85944.<\/p>\n
Reply \u2018yes\u2019 to the instant confirmation text. That\u2019s it \u2013 your $10 donation will be added to your next phone bill.<\/p>\n
(Message and data rates may apply, as normal with your texting service.)<\/p>\n
If you sign on, I hope you’ll also leave a comment below urging others to join you.\u00a0 Your words will be far more effective than mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
