MNN recently brought together community organizers, social justice lawyers, and victims of police brutality together to film a panel on the epidemic of police brutality in the city. Look out for this in-depth one hour special "50 Shots: We Are All Sean Bell" repeating throughout the summer and in the Community Visions block.
MNN is also hosting a series of panels focusing on the rampant displacement of communities of color and low-income communities as a result of gentrification. These panels will bring organizers from the communities hit hardest by displacement: Harlem, El Barrio, Lower East Side and Chinatown. Check out the series New York Not For Sale! airing repeatedly throughout the summer and in the Community Visions block.
