Facebook is encouraging its users to speak up about organ donation.

Company CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced plans to encourage everyone on Facebook to start advertising their donor status.

The hope is that will inspire even more people to add their names to the list of registered donors.

Facebook is introducing the change in the U.S. and the U.K., but says it plans to add several other countries in the coming months.
