Montage: Every year the population of incarcerated women grows and grows. As a result more and more children grow up without their mothers -- and are at risk for disciplinary problems, poverty and neglect.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
