About the Project

Start a Conversation About Justice!

The goal of this project is to encourage us all to think about, and talk about, a basic tenet of our democracy, as reflected in the last four words of our Pledge of Allegiance: “…. and justice for all.”  Justice for all is one of America’s traditional founding values.  We are better when we remember that Americans share this value of justice for all, regardless of our differences.

What does a just community, state, country look like to you?  What does justice mean to you?  We are now engaged in a turbulent and polarized discussion about what America will be in the future.  In this discussion, it is critical that we all remember the traditional foundational value of justice for all, and consider what an America that more fully implements “justice for all” would actually look like.  These license plate frames and decals may provoke drivers to think about what justice really means.

“… and justice for all” license plate frames use the same advertising principles used by car dealerships to help sell cars.  A license plate frame on a car is a small reminder to all those who see it.  License plates frames on many cars will remind drivers of this foundational value.  Moreover, car owners with an “… and justice for all” license plate frame can be proud to visibly endorse a traditional unifying American value.

Simply put, the goal of this project is to get as many Americans as possible thinking and talking about justice.  These license plate frames are one way to do that, by reminding other drivers, wherever you go, of our traditional value of “… and justice for all.”  By putting an “… and justice for all” license plate frame or decal on your car, you will be endorsing a traditional American value, and helping others to think more about what justice really means.
