On Blast: Show for October 2009
October 09, 2009 07:23 PM PDT
On this month's show we hear a report from students' confrontation of Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Rev. Al Sharpton; an interview with long-time organizer Willie Baptist; a conversation with Heidi Ramirez of the Philadelphia School Reform Commission. We'll also hear a story about the history of coal miners' organizing and how it relates to students' struggle -- which was recorded while we were in West Virgina for a Leadership School. Plus, music and other news. This show was hosted by Keturah Bailey & Dylan Washington, and produced by Dan Jones. |
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.
