Free Speech is a part of the first amendment and is integral to Community Media Centers. As a platform for community voices, SPNN believes that everyone has the right to create media and share it with the community. This is why we have drop in spaces for youth and adults to learn media, partner with the League of Women Voters on election forums, and have cohort based programs like Doc U, Spotlight Shorts, and New Angle Fellows.
Our friends at CCX Media worked with us and several other centers (Town Square Television, SPEAK MPLS, and Alliance for Community Media) to put together this video as we celebrate Community Media Day. Join us in celebrating the power of free speech and local centers!
