3CR Community Radio: Make Your Donation Political

It’s almost 3CR Radiothon time! Do your bit to keep vibrant community radio and one of Melbourne’s longest running bicycle radio programs on air!

And there’s the chance of *nice things* for those wonderful listeners who donate and subscribe to Yarra Bicycle Users Group Radio, more details soon.

3CR Community Radio:  Make Your Donation Political

In this federal election year, 3CR Community Radio will be asking you to make a political donation that matters. As the two major political parties slug it out – the choice is clear – a donation to 3CR is a vote for 3CR’s progressive alternative coverage of social, cultural and political issues.

Our broadcasting of diverse voices and programs is vital in the democratic process and a lifeline to communities excluded by the mainstream media. We are financially supported by the listening community who make donations at Radiothon – people like you.

The 3CR Radiothon runs from 3-16 June or click here to donate now!
