Maine Video Activists Network

About this original series

We are an all-volunteer group of media-makers trying to give coverage and attention to social justice movements and marginalized communities in Maine. Each month, videomakers across the state document important political issues and grassroots efforts affecting Maine people. All of these videos are combined into a monthly newsreel called the Maine Video Activists Network! Tune in each month to see what Maine people are doing to make our communities and our globe a better place to live for everyone!
