G-town Radio is proud to present news breaks from the Media Mobilizing Project.  You will hear new pieces each week on Tuesdays and Thursdays (noon & 5 PM).

This week's On Blast segment looks at Organizing Across Race Lines. Willie Baptist, a leader in the movement to end poverty, shares some of his experiences working with the Kensington Welfare Rights Union in Philadelphia. Much of the work that the KWRU did relied on its being a cross-racial movement, and Mr. Baptist explains how deep racial divisions are overcome when the focus is put on people's common struggles.  This piece was produced by Dan Jones.

This week's On Blast segment is an Interview with Heidi Ramirez by Gregory Jordan-Detamore.  During BAYM (Building a Youth Movement), PSU's summer program, participants interviewed different people.  One person was Heidi Ramirez, a member of the Philadelphia School Reform Commission who recently announced her resignation. We talked about subjects such as teacher quality and the school district's strategic plan.  This is a short version that includes only some of the interview. For the rest, listen to the long version, soon to be published on this podcast.
