We Put Our Money Where Our Mouth Is. We’ve always believed in backing up our words with action.
The Whisper started with a simple mission , amplify voices, shake things up, and pull the curtain back on what’s really happening. Over time, that mission has evolved. We’ve grown. So have the whispers. And while the reach keeps expanding, one thing hasn’t changed: we care deeply about the people behind those voices.
To all of you, every like, every share, every message, every whisper, thank you.
We’ve been called out lately for spreading negativity. Fair enough. We’ll own that. There are a lot of negatives. And to be real, it’s damn depressing how many system-wide failures we keep uncovering. But here’s the thing, pointing out when officials abuse their power, when systems break down, when people are being failed, that’s not “negative.” That’s accountability. Still, we hear you. From this point forward, we’re pledging to strike a better balance. We’re going to keep doing exactly what we’ve committed to, dragging truth into the light but we’re also going to shine that light on the good when we see it. Both matter. Both belong. And now, for something positive.
Hear ye, hear ye.
The Falmouth Whisper is pledging $1,500 in community support over the next year.
$400 in September
$400 in December
$700 more before next June
We’re going to be asking Kelly from The Gathering Wing to steward these funds and help distribute them where they’re most needed.
We’re laying down a couple requests:
Around Christmas, funds will go toward kids who need a real Christmas
And throughout the winter, to blankets, warm clothes, and anything else that helps keep folks safe in the cold. We’ll also be calling on local organizations to pitch in. Every dollar counts. If you’re a business in Falmouth or the surrounding area, join us. Match the pledge. Match part of it. Do what you can. When we give, the whole town breathes a little easier. At the Whisper, we’ll keep pushing for transparency. We’ll keep holding power to the flame. But we’re just as committed to lifting this community up however we can.
If there’s ever a post to comment on, share, or tag someone in, make it this one.
Drop your ideas, your thoughts. And of course, keep sending in your Whispers.
Whisper One Out.
