Andra Day, performing at the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. Her song "Rise Up" plays regularly at Hillary Clinton rallies.

Certain songs have become the soundtrack to the presidential campaigns, blared from loudspeakers before and after speeches at every campaign stop. NPR's political reporters have heard these songs over and over again — and they're happy to leave more than a few of them behind after tonight.

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.
