Silence is compliance is a phrase that means that staying silent in the face of injustice is equivalent to being complicit in that injustice. It implies that silence is not a neutral position, but a harmful one that allows oppression and discrimination to continue. It also implies that speaking up and taking action against injustice is a moral duty and a sign of courage1.


From a social justice perspective, 'silence is compliance' means that people who witness or are aware of racism, police violence, corruption, fascism, or any other form of social harm have a responsibility to challenge it and support the victims. It also means that people who benefit from privilege or power have a responsibility to use their influence to advocate for change and to amplify the voices of the marginalized. 'Silence is compliance' also means that organizations and institutions have a responsibility to take a clear stand against injustice and to demonstrate their commitment to diversity and human rights.


'Silence is compliance' is not just a slogan, but a call to action. It urges people to recognize that racism and other forms of injustice are not political issues, but moral issues that affect everyone. It urges people to educate themselves, listen with empathy, speak with respect, and act with solidarity. It urges people to understand that silence can be a form of violence while speaking up can be a form of healing.


This patch comes with a choice of iron-on backing to allow you to apply it to all sorts of places including bags and purses, or a non-iron backing that is softer and easier to sew through than the iron-on backing.
