Good morning, Layla.
What?
Did you just say good morning?
Yeah, it's Giving Tuesday.
I figured I'd give you a good morning.
Thank you, and I'm glad you remembered what I reminded you of yesterday.
So on this Giving Tuesday,
we want to thank up-first listeners who have stepped up to support NPR during a really difficult year.
Yeah, listeners such as Shannon in California who says she gave because NPR lost federal funding,
and I listen to up-first every morning.
Hi, Shannon.
I hope you're listening.
thank you
for supporting the work we love starting the day with you now it's true federal funding for public media was eliminated as of october first that means that mpr is now operating without federal support for the first time in our history,
but NPR's commitment to you has not changed one bit.
Yeah, we're going to keep bringing you the news you need to start your day right here on Up First,
and you can help us do that by signing up for NPR+.
It's a simple recurring donation that gets you perks to NPR's podcast,
and you'll be supporting public media while you listen.
So join us at plus.npr.org.
