Yes. Political expression on clothing is protected speech under the First Amendment. Schools and private venues can have their own rules, but there is no law against wearing Palestine solidarity apparel in public.

What do the symbols actually mean?

The watermelon carries the flag’s colors from a time when the flag itself was banned. Handala is the refugee child witness who will not turn around until return. The olive tree roots families to their land. “Exist. Resist. Return.” compresses the struggle into three words.

What should I wear to a march or rally?
