Azeem Hill's piece on "The Listening and Learning Tour" led by Arnie Duncan, Al Sharpton and Newt Gingrinch that kicked off in Philly. This happened on Tuesday, September 29th. The community and the students were concerned and wanted to talk about what national education reform should look like. The only time we got to talk to Arnie Duncan and Al Sharpton was when they were separated from the community by a gate. This piece tells the story.

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.
