On September 10th, 2014, the Philadelphia Student Union traveled to Newark to support the Newark Students Union. Students in Newark face many of the same struggles as students in Philadelphia, such as budget cuts and school closures. PSU member and On Blast reporter, Brian Burney, interviewed students at the action and describes his experience.

Newark Students Union Takes Action

On Blast is an organizing tool for the Philadelphia Student Union. We know that students have deep analysis about their schools and communities. We know that young people's voices need to be heard before real structural change can take place in our public schools. At On Blast, we choose subject matter that amplifies the voices of those not being heard-- especially young people-- and those who are routinely hurt and misrepresented by the dominant media. We are using media to organize for the human right to a high quality public education for all students.
