I'm so excited and proud to be a part of the XRAY fam, going on five years now! Sharing my weekly rock and roll playlist on SAVAGE BEAT with the Portland community (and beyond) brings me so much joy.

These biannual fund drives are pivotal to keeping the dream of XRAY alive for years to come. I'm asking friends and fans of SAVAGE BEAT to step up and help us continue thriving. Here's how you can easily help us in three simple ways:

1. Make a one-time donation right here on this page! 
2. Become a new XRAY FM member for at least $5/month at xray.fm/donate or by calling 503-233-XRAY
3. Increase your XRAY FM membership!
   • If you're paying $10/month, can you go up to $25?​​​​​

I'm a little late to setting up this page but I'd love to raise at least $500 by next Friday, Oct. 30. We can do this!
 

Contribute to my fund for XRAY here and I'll shout out every donor during my final HOWLAWEEN spooky jams special episode of 2020, on SAVAGE BEAT on Thursday Oct 29!

E-check donations are preferred and will stretch your donation to go even further!

The mass consolidation of media has a profound effect on what we see and hear on a local level. It leads to a decline in support for local artists and local venues, promotion of community advocacy, in the ability to engage civically with our government and those who seek to be elected to it. 

XRAY changes that. And this year has made that more important than ever before. 

This year, while the world has been in turmoil, we've been busy

• giving back to local artists who've lost gigs due to COVID-19

• lifting up hundreds of nonprofits and Black-owned businesses with free spots on air

• educating our community about the privileges they have and how to support their neighbors with our Annual Juneteenth & International Women's Day Teach-Ins

• launching Portland's only daily local news podcast to keep our community in-the-know while apart

• supporting the ongoing civic advocacy, education, and functioning of City Club of Portland when no other radio station would

• interviewing 100+ local candidates (more than any other media outlet) to ensure democracy doesn't die in the distance. 

• and bringing joy and connectedness to the people of Portland.

We are proud to be independent and driven by the purpose of amplifying the best and most distinctive of Portland. Our resources are directed toward supporting the people who support us, and that includes you. By becoming a supporting member of XRAY, you are adding to the resources that help amplify Portland, and Portland’s own artists, venues, activists, innovators, educators, and the community members who make this city run. As a listener named John recently said, "I'm really grateful to live in a city with XRAY." And we're really grateful to live in a city with you.
