Dear Jennifer,
You are the reason we’ve been able to amplify the voices of incarcerated people for so many years. Your unwavering commitment, your generosity, and your belief in our mission have carried us forward. Today, we’re asking you to take another step with us as we work to bring all our folks home. Together, we will shape the future.
There are many ways to support Prison Radio—ways that fit your life, resources, and goals for making a difference. Here’s how you can deepen your commitment:
1. Include Us in Your Will
Most wealth in America is held in property and estates. By including Prison Radio in your will, you can create a legacy that fuels justice for generations.
“I am making plans for a bequest because Prison Radio’s work is game-changing, and I have unlimited trust that my donations are being used wisely.” – Dolly Pomerleau
Planned giving provides critical capital for program security, operational growth, and building acquisition. Join Dolly and make your legacy one of abolition and justice.
2. Become a Monthly Donor
Monthly gifts offer us stability and predictability, helping us keep the lights on and the phones ringing. Lara, a graduate student at U.C. Berkeley's Public Policy Program, supports us with a monthly pledge, allowing her to give more consistently. Can you join Lara in providing this essential ballast?
3. Double or Triple Your Gift with Employer Matching
Many companies match or even triple your donation. Susie, a volunteer sound engineer, and Apple employee, uses her company’s matching program to amplify her support through Benevity. Ask your employer if they offer matching gifts—it’s an easy way to multiply your impact.
4. Make a Gift of Stock
By donating stock, you can support abolition while saving on taxes. Ed, a tech retiree, avoided a significant tax burden by transferring his stock to Redwood Justice Fund/Prison Radio. His generosity is helping us sustain and expand our work. This is a form of completely legal war tax resistance - the taxes he is avoiding paying would go to bombs.
5. Use ACH or Wire Transfers
Our international partners, like AgitArte in Puerto Rico and Collectif Liberons Mumia in Paris, use ACH and wire transfers to support us. These transfers ensure your gift arrives immediately and securely.
6. Utilize Retirement Distributions
Lisa, a longtime supporter of political prisoners, chose to use her Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from her retirement account to make a fully tax-deductible gift. If you’re eligible, this is a powerful way to contribute. This is also another form of completely legal war tax resistance. Be like Lisa!
7. Make a One-Time Gift
