Today is Giving Tuesday! In 2026, Between The Lines will be celebrating 35 years of timely, in-depth, progressive analysis.

Please consider supporting our work with a donation. Generous donors will match your contribution dollar for dollar.

Dear Friend of Between The Lines:

The major upset victory by Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, New York City's mayor-elect, underscores something we've believed since we first began broadcasting Between The Lines nearly 35 years ago: progressive ideas and policy initiatives are popular and make a positive difference in people's lives.

In 1991, Between The Lines aired its first show during the first Gulf War, launched to broadcast voices and perspectives ignored by corporate media. We’re proud to have been part of a progressive wave of journalism that inspired a generation of news producers who share the same mission—providing a platform for individuals and activist groups marginalized or excluded from mainstream media.

Today, BTL is heard on more than 70 community stations—still produced entirely by volunteers who are committed to challenging racism, corruption, authoritarianism and unaccountable corporate power. We aim to amplify grassroots movements building an environmentally sustainable future that embodies true democracy, justice and equality for all the earth’s people.

If you value progressive news analysis that digs deeper and seeks the perspectives and voices you hear on our program each week, please consider supporting our work with a tax deductible contribution to Squeaky Wheel Productions, Between The Lines' 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, non-profit distributor.

Here are four easy ways to make your contribution:
