The past year has redefined much of everyday life, including the notion of the essential worker. Direct Support Professionals or DSPs, the caring and committed people who support individuals with disabilities, stayed on the job despite the risk.  Isn't it finally time that we elevate this workforce with the wages and prestige this critical job deserves? Are these heroes worth more than $12.50 an hour? Joseph MacBeth of the National Association of Direct Support Professionals discusses the opportunities to professionalize this work and State Representative Stephen Kinsey (PA-201), a former DSP himself, talks about prioritizing public support for this workforce.  Edward “Gee” Culmer reflects on a 20+ year career in the field and Clara Thompson of JEVS Human Services describes the challenges of finding and keeping the workforce needed for this important work.

The Philadelphia Student Union's On Blast team is honored to feature guest work from GW Radio, produced by PASS Program (Preparing for, Attaining, & Sustaining Success) at George Washington High School and JEVS Human Services (with support from Yowei Shaw & The School of Rock).

In small groups, they planned, recorded, and edited eight episodes exploring various aspects of their educational experiences in Philadelphia. Throughout this series, you will hear students share stories that express both positive interactions in school as well as injustices that they demand be made right. As you tune in to GW Radio, we hope that you are inspired by the strength and vision of students in Philadelphia and challenged to take action to improve our schools.
