Preamble: 

When assault victim Hope Steffey [1] came forward with her shocking video of being strip-searched at an Ohio police station, America reeled at the blatant abuse of power. When word spread that almost 200 monks were killed by the Junta during a raid in Myanmar last year, the world let out a collective gasp.

Whether you’re battling a war within yourself, standing up against an abuse of power, fighting for your rights or trying to stay alive a combat zone, here is your chance to share your experience with the world. Your story may inspire a stranger or give courage to someone else who is suffering – but most importantly, your voice will be heard. Get it on the record and add your voice to those who have already shared their compelling stories:
