Well-Being

GPB IN THE COMMUNITY

JOIN US ON APRIL 13 AT 12 PM FOR ADVOCATING FOR FAMILY AND CHILD WELL-BEING.

We all play a part in helping families thrive, and GPB has been pleased to provide space for Inclusivv conversations exploring the role that we each hold individually in supporting strong families and communities in Georgia over the past few months. The Vision for Child & Family Well-Being Conversation Series was developed in partnership with the Georgia Division of Family & Child Services, based on six key objectives and developed with input from more than 1,000 Georgians. The series aims to deliver equitable, actionable solutions to preventing abuse and neglect. Together, we have brainstormed about resources and solutions for children and families around mental and physical health, early learning and school readiness, and creating economic opportunities.

It’s not too late to join the conversation. On April 13 at 12 p.m., we will close out the series with Advocating for Family and Child Well-Being.

GPB’s No Pledge Drive Pledge Drive Starts Monday, April 11

There’s something about a public radio fund drive…the excitement of listeners joining together to support programs that matter.. But then there’s the other thing – interrupting those programs to ask for your support. So, to bring you the news you need with minimal interruption, this spring we’re doing something different. We’re calling it GPB’s No Pledge Drive Pledge Drive. Instead of taking time away from programs for traditional pitch breaks, you’ll hear short messages reminding you of how essential your support is to GPB. It’s all about more programming and less on-air fundraising. GPB relies on listener support to cover the costs of the programs we bring you, so please join us in our commitment to less intrusive fundraising this spring. It all starts on April 11!

What Our Donors Are Saying –

Political Rewind

Before I moved to Minneapolis in 1976 to join General Mills, I’d spent 10 years in Washington on the Hill, where I was the Legislative Director of the Committee on Education and Labor in the House of Representatives. At General Mills, among the functions that reported to me was Global Public Affairs. So, perhaps immodestly, I consider myself an aboveaverage consumer of political commentary, and I think Bill Nigut and his panelists are as good as it gets. As Lyndon Johnson once said, “Just give it to me with the bark off” - and they do. It’s so refreshing and informative. In a functioning democracy, the press plays a vital role. Bill and his gang are fulfilling that responsibility. Sadly, too many others in the media are not.
