Nayyirah Shariff, 37, of Flint stands with the word "silence" taped over her mouth during a silent protest against the change to limit public speaking to three minutes during Flint city council meetings on Friday, April 4, 2014 at Flint City Hall.

Shariff said. "I feel like this is another tactic to silence our democratic process." (AP Photo/The Flint Journal, Jake May)
