A newly formed nonprofit group called FairPlay made up of radio stations, DJs, record labels, industry folks and activists all over the US has formed to address issues of racism and amplify BIPOC voices and stories in the music industry.
In support of these same efforts, WFUV also pledges to talk about racial inequality on-air and online, and to build supportive bridges between stations and communities. It s a natural fit with our ongoing EQFM initiative. One of those steps is highlighting local Black-owned businesses (as part of our Corporate Support underwriting placements), which you ll see pop up on our website and e-newsletter.
