Injustice Anywhere is a Threat to Justice Everywhere

This isn’t just my fight—it’s yours. The press release says my case isn’t alone; if they can do this to me, they can do it to anyone. Go back to 1765—the Stamp Act taxed my ancestors’ newspapers, their pamphlets, their voices. They didn’t bow; they built this nation. In a 1919 court case ( *Schenck v. United States) it said speech can only be curbed for a “clear and present danger”—my sticker wasn’t a bomb, it was a belief A 2018 Supreme Court (Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky) case struck down vague bans on “political” attire at polls—Utah’s unwritten rule against my sticker and shirt is just as vague, just as wrong. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” What they did to me in Room 210 isn’t just my burden—it’s a threat to you, to every Utahn who dares speak up. That Ukraine flag I saw flying after they let me out? It’s a symbol of their double standard—justice bends for them, not me. President Trump hit it dead-on when he said: “If we don’t have free speech, then we don’t have a free country.” We are NOT free, when we are afraid to speak here, the people’s house.
