Unfree Speech: The Threat to Global Democracy and Why We Must Act, Now, Wong Joshua

With global democracy under threat, we must act together to defend our rights: now.

Age 14, Joshua Wong made history. While the adults stayed silent, Joshua staged the first ever student protest in Hong Kong to oppose National Education, a highly controversial education reform, which would have stifled free speech - and won. Since then, Joshua led the Umbrella Revolution and has spearheaded the ongoing Extradition Bill protests, which have seen an estimated 2 million people (approximately 1/3 of Hong Kongs population) take the streets and are hitting our headlines daily. His efforts have garnered him mass global news coverage, the bipartisan support of American lawmakers, a Nobel Peace Prize nomination, and over 100 days in prison.

This is Joshuas story told for the first time, straight from the frontline of activism where he continues to put himself in harms way in the name of democracy and freedom. Collecting his prison letters and personal reflections, Unfree Speech is both a heroic memoir of political awakening, as well as rallying cry for all of us to rise up and fight for our freedoms.
