Coming Up on the Youth Channel: The Next Big Thing

Do you think elected officials are doing the right thing when it comes to equal rights, immigration or climate change?  If you are not old enough to vote but want your views heard, there may be a solution. Just last Friday, Greta Thunberg, a 16 year old climate activist, led the biggest global strike in history. Millions of people flooded the streets in 156 countries around the world. She proves if you set your mind, time, and energy into a cause you feel passionate about, you may create the next big movement. Join the Youth Channel for a week of special programming about millennials paving the way to speak up on social and environmental justice, for generations to come.

The Youth Channel airs programming every weeknight from 6-7pm on MNN 4 (FiOS 36, RCN 85, Spectrum 67 & 1998) and MNN HD (Spectrum 1993). To learn about MNN’s Youth Media Center and the work they produce, click here.
