You can make that donation in two minutes by clicking this link: http://wrir.org/donating. Or you can call or visit us between 9 AM and 9 PM during the drive, now through October 24. Our phone number is 804-622-9747; our address is 1621 W. Broad Street, 2nd floor.
In today's world, nothing is more empowering than having direct access to the media. All you have to do is look at the President of the United States, shake your head, and you'll know that what I'm saying is the truth.
Richmond Independent Radio gives you and people like you the kind of access that used to be available only to the rich, the powerful, and those who were willing to carry water for the rich and powerful. If you have a message to get out to Richmond, WRIR is the place to do it. And if you know someone with a message, we're probably the people who are amplifying it. That's what people powered media is about.
Financially, we're people powered as well. We don't have deep-pocketed advertisers or donors -- we have you. The overwhelming majority of Richmond Independent Radio's $149,000 annual budget comes from folks like you ...
... and from folks like me. Once again, I'm challenging the friends of Global A Go-Go to support WRIR. On Wednesday October 17 between 3 and 5 PM during my radio show, I'll match your donation, dollar for dollar, up to $500. So double your donation by making it during Global A Go-Go.
If you tune in at that time, not only will you hear my money steadily being drained from my wallet; you'll also hear one of Richmond's best bands. Mighty Joshua (pictured above) has been named Virginia Reggae Artist of the Year for four years running; his band Zion #5 won the Virginia Reggae Favorite Band Award for the last two years. For the first time ever, Mighty Joshua plays live on Global A Go-Go Wednesday October 17 between 3 and 5 PM, bringing you his conscious nyabinghi drum sounds and encouraging you to donate to independent, community radio in Richmond.
To donate either now or on Wednesday between 3 and 5 PM, just click this link: http://wrir.org/donating. Or you can call or visit us any time between 9 AM and 9 PM during the drive, now through October 24. Our phone number is 804-622-9747; you can visit us at 1621 W. Broad Street, 2nd floor.
Thank you so much for your support in the past, and I hope WRIR can count on you once again in Fall 2018. Long live Richmond Independent Radio!
