You are here: Home / Station News / Take a stand for the local stations and programs you love!WERU depends on listener support to keep our diverse music and information programming going strong. An important way to stand up for WERU is by writing to and calling Maine’s Congressional Delegation to let them know how important WERU is to you, and how important the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is to local community radio (25% of WERU’s budget).
