Celebration & Struggle: Media Mobilzing Project's Community Building Dinner
January 12, 2009 03:22 PM PST
As 2008 came to a close, Media Mobilizing Project welcomed organizing groups from across Philly to the 3rd annual MMP Community Building Dinner. This dinner was a chance for Philly Student Union to share our 2008 victories and talk to allies about their struggles and successes. In this piece, Dan Jones talks to attendees (see MMP's Wall of Leaders, on right), including keynote speaker Gerardo Reyes from the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. |
Podcast SummaryOn Blast is an organizing tool for the Philadelphia Student Union. On Blast represents the needs and interests of young people. We know that mainstream media doesn’t have our interests in mind when they broadcast their news, or play commercial music. The owners of mainstream media use their content to maintain the status quo; their framework comes from a place of sexism, racism, militarization and class oppression. At On Blast, we choose subject matter that amplifies the voices of those not being heard; those who are routinely hurt and misrepresented by the dominant media. About PhiladelphiaThe Philadelphia Student Union exists to build the power of young people to demand a high quality education in the Philadelphia public school system. We are a youth-led organization and we make positive changes in the short term by learning how to organize to build power. We also work toward becoming life-long learners and leaders who can bring diverse groups of people together to address the problems that our communities face.
