For a slogan to be remembered and chanted for years, it needs to be three words. Each word blmust be one syllable. These two chants are for the times and pair well imo.

That’s why “No Justice, No Peace” is so good.

I've always felt that one's rhythm matches a marching drum. Not as well rounded but strong for that one purpose .

I think No More Kings is another appealing one right now

And what does it mean? Perhaps a stupid question, but it does not make much sense to me. Perhaps because I'm not a native english speaker?

We used to call ourselves the "Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave."

This is a calling to honor those titles

freedom for everyone, and we must rise-up before the nation falls.

Why not just "freedom for everyone", that's three words?

theirs makes a better protest chant. 3+1 beats per line, and they rhyme. yours, i think, better suited as a slogan or tagline on printed materials and signs.

It may sound nice but it's still gibberish
