Speaking Up and Speaking Out

When insurrectionists stormed the U.S Capitol to interfere with the certification of President Joe Biden's election victory, January 6th became a day our country will never forget. And for police officer Mike Fanone, it is one that will be forever burned into his memory. He was there and witnessed the chaos firsthand, putting his life on the line to help. He later testified before the House Select Committee about what he experienced that day.

In this cover by photojournalist Christopher Lee, Fanone stands at dawn before his own looming shadow. He is an officer in uniform, someone who bravely ran to help his colleagues. But his uniform is also why he was attacked.

Take home this poignant cover of TIME today.
