Photographer Matt Spencer captures the power and passion of individuals from all walks of life as they stand up for the causes that are near to their heart.

Some people are taking a stand for civil rights while others are protecting children. Some are here to speak up for women's rights or to end human trafficking. There are some who are standing up for gay & lesbian issues and some want to stop female genital mutilation.

When someone asks about the picture, that's your opportunity to share the cause that's most important to you and inspire your friends & family to step up with you.

This is a global vision to change the world and it truly starts with the individual. We can take the picture, but we can not give it value...that's up to you.
