Voices United for Change
At Voices United for Change, we know that silence does not keep us safe—it only strengthens injustice. Freedom cannot flourish when truth is punished, when families are torn apart, and when courageous voices are silenced. That is why we stand with political prisoners around the world, affirming that their struggles are not forgotten.
We provide comfort and support to their families, and we amplify the voices of those who dare to speak out against oppression. Every life we touch, every story we share, is part of a larger movement: a movement toward a future where courage is honored, truth is protected, and freedom of expression belongs to everyone.

What We Do
At Voices United for Change, we transform silence into action through three powerful pillars of work:
Advocacy & Awareness
We raise global awareness for political prisoners and advocate for their release. Through congressional testimonies, international media, and community campaigns, we ensure that their stories are heard and remembered.
Family
Support
We provide comfort and solidarity to families who have lost loved ones to unjust imprisonment. No family should carry this burden alone—we stand beside them with resources, encouragement, and community.​
Art for Human Rights
We harness the power of art—film, sculpture, and storytelling—to give voice to the silenced. From award-winning short films to internationally recognized artworks, we use creativity as a tool for truth and resistance.
​
Youth Leadership
We empower the next generation of advocates. Through workshops, clubs, and mentorship, we equip young people with the skills and courage to stand up for human rights and freedom of expression.

About Dr. Bingzhang Wang
Dr. Bingzhang Wang is one of China’s earliest and most respected voices for democracy. A physician turned pro-democracy advocate, he dedicated his life to the belief that freedom of speech and human rights are not privileges, but universal rights.
​
In 2002, while visiting Vietnam, he was kidnapped and taken to China, where he was unjustly sentenced to life in prison. For more than two decades, he has remained behind bars for the simple act of speaking truth to power.
His courage and sacrifice continue to inspire a global movement for justice—and his story lives on through the work of Voices United for Change.
