The RADIO FUND will help people currently held by ICE in the Essex County Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey to buy radios, headphones and batteries.
These items are available for purchase in the detention center commissary, but many cannot afford to buy them (a walkman radio costs $30, headphones $11, 2 AA batteries $3). All funds raised will go towards supplying these items for people in ICE detention, providing critical access to the world beyond detention center walls. From a listener in Essex: "The radio to me is sacred. I listen to the news on there... music, I listen to everything."
