Dear friend,

Corporate-owned media contributed to Trump’s win as much as this country’s entrenched racism and white supremacy, patriarchy and xenophobia.

At Making Contact we value transformative storytelling and create a space for OURcommunities to be heard. An alternative to the empty calories of breaking “news” shows.Let’s take our stories back!

People are in motion and in this period we’re redoubling our work: Slow cooking radio pieces that provide historical and political context, and highlight people’s solutions, to stimulate reflection and action.

On Giving Tuesday we need you to join in and keep this work strong.

And in this moment, we particularly want to hear from you:

  • What topics and angles should we explore in the coming months?
  • Give us feedback on our programs, and share programs with your friends.
  • Tell us your own stories to add to the mix.
  • We’re setting up a Twitter Chat soon. Stay tuned and join the conversation!

Share your thoughts and ideas here and chat with us on Facebook and Twitter

As you respond + regroup, take heart from the voices of these women:

It’s chilling to think about Trump’s energy and environmental policies… 

Countering that, are the voices of veteran activists working to phase out nuclear energy, power and research. Women Rising Radio revisits Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three Mile Island –  and you’ll hear about real solutions to the problem of nuclear energy. Women Rising: Phasing Out Nuclear Power
