Participants of the band Rem in 2024
Rem launched an online album platform. It can be used to order a group track in electronic or other form. This will make a donation for RFE/RL to help journalists continue to fulfill their mission.
“I am a long -standing Rem fan for me, their music represents the celebration of freedom: freedom of expression, lyrics that make us think and inspire us. This is exactly what our journalists do here in RFE – inform, inspire and protect the freedoms of our audience, – said President Radio Liberty Stephen Capus. “It is nice that our hard work is noted by extremely talented Rem musicians.”
In March 2025, USAGM made a decision to freeze a grant that funded Radio Svoboda at $ 75 million for the 2025 financial year (it is a term until September 2025). Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty has challenged the legality of USAGM leadership in the Washington Federal District Court.
At the end of April, the Federal Judge Roys Lambert issued a temporary prohibitory warrant stating that “the funds allocated by the Congress by RVE/RS should be transferred.” He stressed that President Trump also signed the relevant bill. The judge’s decision refers to $ 12 million, which was to be allocated in April.
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is an independent media corporation. Her work is funded by the funds allocated by the US Congress through the Global Media Agency. On March 14, 2025, US President Donald Trump signed a decree reducing the activities of seven government agencies, including USAGM. After that, it was reported to terminate the US Congress approved by the US Grant, which funds RVE/RS.
