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%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
Mayor Brandon M. Scott is urging neighborhood associations to submit their event details by July 16, emphasizing the role National Night Out plays in reducing crime and strengthening trust between residents and police. Last year, approximately 80 events were held citywide, with local organizations hosting block parties, cookouts, and resource fairs that encourage face-to-face interaction with law enforcement.
This year’s registration must be completed online at bit.ly/nno25. After verification, the city will publish a list of public events on the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement website. Event planners must also complete permitting requirements through the Department of Transportation’s Special Events portal.
