Let’s Co-Prosper: 2025 PMI Annual Fundraiser & Auction

Wednesday, October 22nd | 6pm - 11pm @ Narrow Bridge Arts Club

In times when the concept of prospering feels more complex than ever, we believe in the power of community to redefine it. At Public Media Institute, prospering means "co-prospering"β€”thriving together through shared effort and mutual support. It’s through this collective spirit that we bring you Lumpen Radio, Lumpen Magazine, Co-Prosperity, Buddy, MDW, and mutual aid initiatives like Community Kitchen and asylum seeker phone support. We can only do all this because we rely on one another's good will. We want to continue this work, and we want to do it with you. Join us for a night of camaraderie, commiseration, celebration, and cooperation on October 22nd. Enjoy amazing food, music, and art as we gather with friends and comrades, bolstering each other in these difficult times.
