LEND YOUR VOICE TO FIGHT CENSORSHIP
Some stories have the power to change humanity but only if they are heard. Right now millions of people around the world are oppressed through censorship, denying them their basic human right to freedom of speech. So we started Freedom Voices with Amnesty International to collect sound bites from activists like Malala Yousafzai, Edward Snowden, and Ai Wei Wei. My partner and I began this project with no brief and no budget, driven only by a desire to use creativity to do good. We then recruited a global collective of creatives passionate about human rights. Together, we turned these speeches into a soundboard on the lip-sync app Dubsmash where over 70 million users could share them on social media and lend their voices in the fight against censorship.
