Free John Sinclair and All Political Prisoners Pinback Button

Circa 1971
1¾ inches

A political pinback button supporting the release of John Sinclair, poet, activist, and co-founder of the White Panther Party in Detroit. Sinclair was sentenced to ten years in prison in 1969 for possession of two marijuana cigarettes. His imprisonment became a prominent cause within the counterculture and antiwar movements, culminating in the December 1971 John Sinclair Freedom Rally in Ann Arbor, Michigan, which featured prominent musicians and activists. The button’s slogan, “Free John Sinclair and All Political Prisoners,” connects his case to the broader movement against politically motivated imprisonment.
