Philly Student Union Turns 30!

Celebrate the legacy — and fund the future.

For 30 years, Philly Student Union has been a force for justice, building youth power and transforming public education in Philadelphia. What began as a bold leap by a group of students in 1995 has grown into a movement that has changed lives, shaped policy, and empowered generations.

Now, in the face of deep challenges—school closures, defunding, and a city at a crossroads—we are being called to rise. This year, we mark our historic anniversary with a rallying cry.
