Turn your dial to KUNM 89.9 FM on Sunday 4/11 from 11 a.m. to noon— "No More Normal" will be remixing music and conversations about the surge of open racism, its health fallouts and detriments, and how people can work within themselves and within their communities to flip the ongoing lie of white supremacy. Wall-to-wall with danceable beats, Sunday as white supremacists call for actions around the country, we aim to access the joy enlaced in the long fight for freedom and wellness.

Throughout the pandemic, No More Normal has been committed to laying plain and deconstructing racism and its harmful effects on us all. It's a public health issue, borne out more sharply during the rise of COVID-19.
