Take a stand
means to speak out or act to support an idea, especially when it takes courage.
Examples:
1- Maya took a stand against her abusive boss, knowing it might cost her job — but she couldn’t live with the silence anymore.
2- Beatriz took a stand and gave a speech about language and identity after years of being silenced in class for her accent — and everyone listened.
