YouthNoise provides young leaders with everything they
need to build movements to make consequential positive change in their
communities. We are a non-profit online social network - check us out at www.youthnoise.com [1]. We are currently running a number of major campaigns - Youth Rising Summit Tour (a nationwide series of youth summits addressing issues of local concern to young people) and Right To Learn (a California-based program to encourage youth involvement in the education reform debate). We will be launching new programs in Personal Health and Environmental Justice later in 2008/early 2009.
In addition to our larger campaigns, we host a wide variety of cause-oriented content that users create to bring awareness and network around the issues that matter to them. We recently created a page to build awareness around the issue of Net Neutrality, utilizing the "Save the Internet" campaign as a focal point. You can check it out at:
http://www.youthnoise.com/MyCauseIs/index.php?cause_id=180&a=index [2].
I would encourage anyone under age 26 (roughly our upper age limit at YN) to join this campaign and contribute content to the page. Many young people are completely clueless about what net neutrality means and the implications of allowing this concept to slip away.
Help us raise awareness among the future generations so that the internet remains a place for ALL voices and ideas to be heard. Give a shout out if you have any questions- you can reach me at mark@youthnoise.org.
