Get ready to “Unmute Yourself” in support of Student Press Freedom Day on Feb. 24. The Student Press Law Center’s website lists many ways in which scholastic journalists and advisers can get involved and spread awareness in their communities.

The theme ‘“Unmute Yourself’ was selected this year because “student journalists must be empowered to tell the stories most important to their communities, free from overt censorship, and able to withstand the pressures that lead to self-censorship,” according to the SPLC.
