Public broadcasting connects communities using news, information, digital content, music, and more! Today, The Current has teamed up with stations across the country to participate in Protect My Public Media Day, a day to show support for public media. You can learn how to join in by visiting mpr.org/action.

Maybe you found your favorite band on The Current, have made a group of friends through a shared love of music, or discovered an artist that started locally and then hit it big. Today, let us know how you feel about public media… with song!
