First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
This t-shirt isn’t just fabric; it’s a conversation starter. Featuring the bold message, “Dear Mr. President, Please keep your promise about bringing back Free Speech for All,” this design challenges the wearer and those around them to reflect on the state of free expression in America today. During his campaign, President Trump vowed to champion free speech, but recent actions, such as defunding Columbia University for allowing pro-Palestinian and anti-genocide demonstrations—activities that are protected under the First Amendment—raise questions about the current commitment to that promise. We do understand that protests have to stay within the law.
The design juxtaposes this callout with a powerful yet symbolic image of a watermelon, which has become a globally recognized emblem of Palestinian resistance and solidarity
The colors of the watermelon—red, green, black, and white—mirror the Palestinian flag and serve as a quiet yet potent reminder of the struggle for justice and free expression Paired with the full text of the First Amendment, the design invites curiosity and sparks dialogue about the intersection of free speech, protest, and constitutional rights.
For like-minded individuals who value constitutional freedoms, this shirt serves as a badge of shared principles, sparking instant camaraderie. For the curious observer, it invites meaningful conversations about the role of free speech in protecting dissenting voices, even when those voices challenge the status quo.Wear this shirt, and be ready to engage in conversations about:
The importance of the First Amendment in protecting law abiding protests and demonstrations.
How symbols like the watermelon have come to represent global solidarity with movements for justice.
The gap between campaign promises and policy decisions regarding free speech.
What it means to truly uphold free speech in a divided nation.
This isn’t just a t-shirt—it’s a statement, a question, and a bridge to connect with others who believe in the power of open dialogue and the foundational freedoms of our democracy.
