SugarHouse Casino opened September 23, 2010 at Frankford and Delaware Avenues despite years of strong public opposition. This has not deterred activists but made them more determined in their fight against casinos in Philadelphia.

In this segment, I spoke to Lai Har Cheung, Reverend Jesse Brown, and Francesca Lo Basso.

What does it mean for our city now that SugarHouse Casino has opened?

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.
