Freedom can’t be franchised

“Freedom Can’t Be Franchised” challenges the commodification of liberty in a world where everything—from healthcare to basic human rights—is increasingly packaged, sold, and controlled by corporations. This catchphrase exposes the absurdity of turning something as fundamental as freedom into a product that can be bought and sold, and reminds us that true freedom is about self-determination, not the ability to choose between a set of corporate-approved options. It’s a call to reject the idea that freedom is a service or a privilege available only to those who can afford it. Wearing this message is a declaration that real freedom can’t be bought, and it certainly can’t be franchised—it must be fought for, shared, and protected for all.
