Support Lumpen Radio

‘I love that I can count on Lumpen Radio to play music no other station is playing!’

– Brenda Hernandez, Friend of Lumpen

‘We need outlets like Lumpen Radio to better understand music outside of the mainstream, open opportunities for people whose voices might not be heard, and to have a platform for sonic creatives to let loose on the air.’

– Drew Mitchell, 606 Records

‘Everytime I tune in there is always something cool happening, either fantastic music, special guests, or interesting conversations. It is a great company for any occasion.’

‘Lumpen Radio is a true Chicago gem, showcasing unique voices that don’t have access to a public media source – like youth, seniors, teachers, and Spanish speakers. While radio and other free local media journalism are being threatened, Lumpen Radio continues to bring news and stories that reflect the community it serves.’

– Vanessa Sanchez, Yollocalli Arts Reach
