I have an idea, and it's a stretch, but...

I feel like maybe this will work. Everyone in my school has a different cause they are fighting for. While some people may be for human rights, others shoot for animal rights. Everyone always bickers over which is more important. I wanna create solidarity for these groups, and my simple idea is t-shirts. I'm considering requesting that people have make a t-shirt with three quotes on it. One being, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". ~Voltaire, and the other being, "If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all." ~Noam Chomsky. These two quotes will represent a sort of agreement between every group that we believe in our right to exercise our freedom of speech. Now the third quote would be one about whatever injustice you are fighting against, whether it be to free mumia, or end the unjust treatment of animals in slaughterhouses. Personally, I'm for different social justices and I'm also anti-iraq war. So i would use this quote. "Justice without force is powerless; force without justice is tyrannical" - Blaise Pascal. If you understand this, please say so, and if you don't ask some questions. I also wanna know if you think this is a good idea or not.
