Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

This is a depiction of a repeating dream/vision I've been having over the last three decades with basically three messages I'll mention below.
Feel free to tweak and share, it's the message that counts, not the exact pictures or words.
Person in pink top and with long blonde hair walking in between two groups. Walking towards a line of people holding pride, BLM, peace, trans, and progress signs who stand shoulder to shoulder to protect vulnerable people behind them. The person in the middle is looking over their shoulder to a group which seems angry with many carrying bricks, baseball bats or flags representing various extreme right ideas.
