In 2013, US senator Wendy Davis spoke for ten hours straight to preserve women's reproductive rights in Texas; Edward Snowden blew the whistle on the NSA, knowing that the moment he did he would be branded a traitor; Malala Yousafzai faced almost certain death when she spoke out against the Taliban.
Using the phrase 'Speak Up, Speak Out' as a starting point, we ask you to explore this incredible human trait, to say something when others won't, in any way that you feel possible. Whether it's a revelation, a secret, the truth or a lie, we would like to hear from you, and we'd most certainly like to hear from your characters.
