We need your help to stay paywall free

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.

If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

Will you be one of the 5%?

Staff from the Civil Rights Division’s Voting Section will collaborate with U.S. Attorneys’ Offices to enforce statutes, such as the Voting Rights Act, the National Voter Registration Act, and the Help America Vote Act. These laws safeguard citizens’ voting rights and ensure provisions like accessible voting materials and assistance in English and Spanish, specifically required in Prince George’s County.

The Justice Department encourages reports of any suspected violations through the Civil Rights Division’s online portal or by phone. Additional resources, including guidance for language minority voters and details on federal voting rights protections, are available on the Justice Department’s website.
