Prison Radio is dedicated to amplifying the voices

Prison Radio is dedicated to amplifying the voices of those incarcerated and advocating for their release. Our team of correspondents share their stories and experiences, and we work to bring attention to their cases and fight for their freedom. This includes providing legal support and assistance, as well as organizing and producing updates and analysis. However, this critical work takes a lot of time and resources, and we are currently stretched thin and in need of financial support to continue our efforts. In particular, we are focusing on supporting Marvin "Shaka" Walker and Mumia Abu-Jamal, both of whom have been instrumental in bringing attention to issues of mass incarceration and racial injustice. Your support helps us keep the phones and lines open for our correspondents and continue the fight for freedom.

Please donate to keep voices like hers on the air

Please help us make our fundraising goal of $125,0

Please help us make our fundraising goal of $125,000 to support the important work of Prison Radio. This money will help cover the costs of keeping the phone lines open for our correspondents, visiting Mumia Abu-Jamal, advocating for better medical care in Pennsylvania prisons, assisting with legal fees for Marvin "Shaka" Walker's case, commissioning artwork, and other expenses. As an organization that refuses to censor the voices of those we represent, we do not receive institutional funding from sources like the Ford Foundation or Pew Charitable Trust. Instead, we rely on individual donations from people who believe in our mission of amplifying the voices of those who have been systematically oppressed and fighting for freedom. Every gift you send us - large or small - can help us with this work. We are grateful for the generosity of our big-hearted supporters. Please keep our lights on and make a gift today.

Krystal Clark called in on Wednesday with a report

Krystal Clark called in on Wednesday with a report about how WHV has moved her back to an unsanitary housing condition despite having a doctor's note. We have postcards on our website to mail to Governor Whitmer who granted clemency for four other women at WHV today. We know that public pressure works. We must continue to speak out on behalf of Krystal Clark.

Letters of support are also welcomed.

Prison Radio covers a whole lot of ground. We record, we investigate, we litigate, and we activate.

Our core work is broadcasting the dynamic critical voices from inside - 50 correspondents called in this year, sharing their stories, hopes, and resilience. Amplifying their leadership is critical.

But it is not enough. We have to bring them home.

The second Noelle Hanrahan got her bar card (Lawyers Identification) she became co-counsel for Marvin “Shaka” Walker. She meets with Mumia Abu-Jamal twice a month, keeping an eye on his health and advocating for better medical care for his cardiac condition. She also continues her diligent work bringing his legendary books and recordings into the world

And we have not stopped organizing, producing updates, sharing analysis and turning out courtroom support.

Building a movement for freedom takes time and energy and a huge database.

The work is critical, overwhelming and exhausting. Noelle has been working 16 hour days. The legal work has cut into the time we would have spent asking for support.

It is a hard balance: freedom and capital fuel. Both are critical.

We are super broke, stretched thin, but that does not mean that we won’t keep going. We just need help from our supporters to carry us home.

We need your help more than ever because this year the work on the ground is so immediate, so close to freedom.

Please help us reach our fundraising goal: It literally keeps the phones on and the lines open for Mumia and all of our amazing correspondents.

Toward Justice and Freedom,
Jennifer Beach
Prison Radio Co-Director
