“It is our duty to fight for our freedom, It is our duty to win. We must love and support each other, We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

About Us
Created in July of 2020 the Philly Black Students Alliance (PBSA) was formed to ensure Black students matter in all of our schools. Our goal is to unify and create spaces centering the wellness and safety of Black youth and educators in schools across Philadelphia. We understand that in order for our demands to be accepted, our students, teachers, and alumni across the entire school district must apply pressure. The PBSA seeks to hold individual administrations and the entirety of the district accountable. We believe it is the moral obligation of every individual in the district to be actively engaged in promoting an anti-racist learning and living environment and furthermore demand that it be shown through real non-performative actions.
