The Prompt

















In a 1967 speech speaking out against the Vietnam War, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of the need for immediate action regarding civil rights issues:

"We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late."

These words have since inspired people to demand all sorts of change and action... before it's too late.

What sorts of issues in your world require immediate action? Submit original words, images, sound and/or video.
