Uhuru Greetings to Black Power 96 Radio listeners and supporters!
We are thinking of you and hope you are healthy and well.
The safety and well-being of our staff, volunteers and our community at large is top-of-mind. To that end, Black Power 96 Radio has made adjustments, including closing the station to the public for now.
We are following all guidelines for social distancing and keeping the station sanitized to protect those who will be coming in to keep the broadcasts, with essential updates for our community, going.
Supporting Our Community’s Own Media Right Now is Critical!
Now more than ever, carrying out APEDF’s mission on the radio airwaves — to address the disparities in health, economic development and education in the African community — is critical and needed.
Black Power 96 Radio needs your support to develop and deliver the programming that speaks to and arms our people with the information we need to survive this virus and all the other conditions imposed on us by colonialism.
Black Power 96 staff and volunteers are working right now on station improvements, including upgrading our mobile app so that you can more easily tune in and be in touch with Black Power 96 wherever you are.
Supporting Members (donors) kickstarted Black Power 96 Radio three years ago and keep it funded every day. We are funded by our community and that means we are accountable to our community, not to corporate advertisers or other big money interests.
If you are not already a Supporting Member, there is no better time to start. Donating generously to this station is an investment in media for the African community that is not only explaining the world, but empowering our people to change it!
