Amid orders to cut funding for public media, here’s what you can do to help.

You’re invited: NPR’s Michel Martin to host community discussion

In August, St. Louis Public Radio presented a community discussion, hosted by NPR’s Michel Martin, about race, law enforcement and more. Seven months later, Martin is returning to St. Louis to continue that conversation.

Martin will moderate a public conversation among a panel of community leaders and residents on what’s changed since August, and what still needs attention. The event will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. March 23. It is free and open to the public, although seating is limited.

For those unable to attend, the forum will be broadcast on St. Louis Public Radio on March 24 and 25. During the forum and its broadcast, we’ll use the hashtag #BeyondFerguson on social media to talk about the event and solicit questions.
