Coming Up on the Youth Channel: Invisible No More

YC Upcoming Bubbles with YC producer photos

The United States was founded upon freedom of speech, the press, and religion. Many fled Europe and immigrated to what is now the U.S., in hopes of establishing a country with better rights than they were offered back at home. Along the way, our country has had various issues on protecting its people and granting the fundamental rights we were started on. Minority groups have encountered incredible amounts of discrimination, and are not protected under our constitution. Minority groups will soon be the majority, meaning things are bound to change in the near future. In 2019, the LGBTQ+ community, women, and people of color have begun to make progress because there are enough people to advocate for and with them. Join the Youth Channel for a week of special programming about millennials paving the way to speak up on social & 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.
