Call to Action

Censorship seems like no big deal but it is a big violation of basic human rights. Citizens who are not allowed to expressed their voice and opinion are too scared to speak out are forced to follow a leader that can have bad intentions. History has shown that citizens that do not speak up can be controlled by a leader such as Hitler and terrible things can happen. Not only does it affect countries like North Korea, it can also have an affect on a country like the United States of America. Censorship allows for the government to manipulate the North Korean citizens into hating other countries such as the United States, which makes North Korea and the United States enemies on the brink of war. The last thing today's world needs is a nuclear war. People need to speak up and help out to relieve the North Korean citizen's from their fear of censorship. Working together to stand up for people could save the world from a possible devastating nuclear war. Below are a few organizations to help restore a basic human right of freedom of speech and opinion to people around the world.
