Video: Boston Youth Want Net Neutrality

Young folks are starting to crank out videos in support of Net Neutrality.

Perhaps they, more than anyone else, understand what’s at stake if we lose a neutral Net and allow companies to prioritize content and slow down access to certain Web sites. They know that their voices, so often left out of or stereotyped in mainstream media, could be lost without the open Internet platform we have today.

That’s why a group of young students in Boston worked with their local community television station -- Cambridge Community Television – to create a short video about Net Neutrality. The station has a youth media program that teaches media-making skills to young people.

Watch the video, and then consider making one of your own:
