"I knew she didn't have anybody..." -Niya Kenny, on why she decided to speak up when she saw her classmate being assaulted by a police officer.
There will come a time in each person's life where all that's needed is for you to speak up on behalf of someone who doesn't have a voice.
Some people will rise to the challenge. Others will not say anything - either because they don't care or because they're fearful (of retaliation, of losing their own fortune, etc.). It's difficult to tell someone who is afraid to ignore fear and press forward, but if you're ever in the situation where fear is preventing you from speaking up, ask yourself one question: "What if this was my kid/parent/sibling/friend/loved one?"
Be awesome to someone who doesn't have a voice. Speak up!
