‘I have not run from the POLICE for over 40 YEARS. But I know HOW to’
Those are my FATHER’s words. It’s the 1ST of October 2017
He is ready to VOTE for a NON-BINDING referendum
I am on the PHONE to him and I CAN’T breathe
Why You Should Care About Catalonia by Silvia BrownOn 1st October, before police used violence against voters in a non-binding referendum, I was on the phone to my father, when he said to me: 'I haven't run from the police in over 40 years but I know how to'
My piece is a speech created for RMIT PWE course. My motivation is to stir people's consciences.
