This show has several segments, plus news headlines and music. One segment is from the B'more Fair in Baltimore, a march for the rights of workers in the Inner Harbor, organized by the United Workers Association. Another story is about the community struggle to keep William Penn High School from being closed. There is also a piece about how we are taught in school versus how we learn best. Finally, there is a segment (which includes Khalif Dobson's testimony from a School Reform Commission meeting) about the struggle to stop our schools from being privatized. This show was hosted by Azeem, Amber, Simone, Matt, Cherelle, Candace & Dan. |
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.
