WFUV Public Media is doing its part to resolve the longtime issue of gender disparity in the music industry. With the EQFM initiative, we're striving toward a goal of 50 percent representation of women and gender minorities in our music programming, events, and online features. And it’s not just about us, but a rallying cry: we’re planting a flag and asking others to join us.
