Adults in the Room is proud to be part of KUOW, a not-for-profit public media station,

with a mission to create and serve a more informed public.

Everything you hear on KW, this and every podcast, every article, every newsletter, every community event,

relies on the support of our community.

This week, it's KUOW's spring fundraising drive. It's a time

every year where we go on air and yes, on podcast, to celebrate the generosity that keeps KUOW running.

Public support has always been the backbone of public media. Here's our ask.

Today, we are inviting you to join KOWW as a donor to power this podcast and local news by making a gift.

Giving now is a way to pay it forward in your community, ensuring everyone, not just those

who can afford it, has access to high-quality news. Whether it's $5, $10, $20 a month,

whatever fits your budget, your support makes a difference. If giving monthly doesn't work for you,

give what you can today, whatever the amount it helps truly. We have some spring fundraising drive executive thank you gifts as well,

a zippered tote with original artwork by Hillary Lee, KUOW socks, and a coffee bundle of a KUOW mug

with an 8-ounce package of whole bean, medium roast coffee from Café Laudro, as well as

subscriptions to Babel and the New York Times.

Your support sends a powerful message.

Public media matters.

Make your gift now at kowow.org or on the KUOW app, and thank you.
