Description:

White shirt.
Front: triangle made of three smaller triangles and the words "Speak Out" with a person below. Back: larger version of the same triangle, more people, and the poem "First they came for the Jews, But I wasn't a Jew So I didn't react. Then they came for the communists, but I wasn't a communist, so I didn't object. Then they came for the homosexuals, but I wasn't a homosexual, so I didn't stand up. Then they came for the political activists but i wasn't political activist so I didn't protest. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left toe Speak Out" by Martin Niemoller.
