PROTECT
THE
EGG
“Protect the egg: not because it's the "golden goose," but because it's one of your own.”
-TY
I had once written to Tim that the surface of a three dimensional egg unrolled into a two dimensional plane, resembles two spiral staircases winding into infinity.
With his usual magic, Tim alchemised this into a metaphor, a symbol of freedom and justice.
“the image of the egg unrolled into a 2D plane should be the symbol of freedom. The two spiral stairs winding into infinity represent a hard fought freedom. My freedom has yet to come; but I look forward to the day when my closet sized nestegg is compromised, unrolled, and I am free to go---I'll strut down the crinkly, unrolled eggshells as if it was a red carpet!”
In February 2025, Tim Young initiated the #ProtectTheEgg campaign.
“I now present to you the campaign approach: Protect the Egg! Protect the egg at all costs! Protect it legally, constitutionally, and medically. Protect the egg and ensure that the encapsulated inhabitant lives long enough to walk that red carpet of crinkly, unrolled eggshell. "Protect the egg!"” -TY
The campaign’s first area of focus is:
Secure medical rights for the prisoners of the RJD Correctional Facility, where Tim is currently confined. Give them the treatment and care they deserve.

BOILING EGGS AS A METAPHOR FOR CAPITAL PUNISHMENT/ LETHAL INJECTION/ GAS CHAMBER

“Freedom is on the horizon. I come with a new image and vein of vision for Protect The Egg. Get this. You know how eggs get boiled in a pot of hot water? Well, we're going to liken that process to capital punishment/lethal injection /gas chamber. The PTE image should be that of an egg/nestegg (with shadowy inhabitant inside) near, in close proximity, or on the brink of getting dropped into a pot of boiling hot water. The battle cry should be #ProtectTheEgg! Strength and blessings --TY”
CALL TO ACTION: ANY TIME YOU SEE ANYONE BOILING A POT OF EGGS, TAKE A 5 SECOND VIDEO AND SEND TO

Hebron City Suburbs, West Bank, Palestine
As Israel deploys tanks to the occupied West Bank for the first time in two decades, and Gaza children die of hypothermia, I receive photos of boiling eggs for Tim Young, from Hebron City Suburbs, West Bank, Palestine. This is solidarity. -SK, 26.02.25

Boiling Eggs, Khartoum, Sudan
A woman named Hanan from the suburbs of Khartoum, Sudan, sent a video of boiling eggs for Tim Young. They are trapped, they have no electricity, forces are attacking civilians on the streets, fridge doesn’t work for Iftar, and still she sent. I offered to help Hanan get solar panels. The #ProtectTheEgg movement calls upon me to extend a hand in return for the hand Hanan extended to Tim on death row. From Hebron, West Bank, to Khartoum, the love spreads. Our struggles are connected. Give love and receive love. (SK 15/03/25)

Images of eggs arrive from Rohingya Refugee camp, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, in solidarity with Tim Young! Survivors of Myanmar’s genocide against Muslims, stand up for a prisoner on California’s death row. The photos were sent by Rohingya photographer Abul Kalam, who himself was previously jailed by the government of Bangladesh. Abul said the situation in the camps is very bad, so #ProtectTheEgg is currently taking steps to offer him and his fellow camp residents support.

Pigeon on tier 4
“a pigeon flew in through one of the building’s broken windows and swooped down onto the 4th tier, where I am housed. It landed, took a few awkward, apprehensive steps, and stopped right in front of my cell. Once it spotted me, it perked up and looked at me in the most perplexing, peculiar way. It seemed to be saying, “Wow, even I have more freedom of movement than you!”
