A quick definition of speech-plus:

Speech-plus: This is a type of communication that includes both spoken words and actions that express opinions or thoughts. Examples of speech-plus include wearing a black armband or going on a hunger strike to express a message. However, this type of communication does not have the same level of protection as pure speech, which is limited to only spoken or written words that convey an idea. Other types of speech include commercial speech, which is advertising or marketing that is not protected as strongly as social, political, or religious speech, and hate speech, which is speech that expresses hatred for a particular group and can lead to violence.

A more thorough explanation:

Speech-Plus is a type of communication that involves both spoken words and symbolic actions or conduct that express opinions or thoughts. It is also known as symbolic speech.

For example, a hunger strike or wearing a black armband to protest against a government policy is a form of symbolic speech. It expresses an opinion or thought without using spoken words.

However, symbolic speech does not enjoy the same level of constitutional protection as pure speech, which is limited to spoken or written words that convey an idea. Commercial speech, hate speech, and seditious speech are other types of speech that have different levels of protection under the First Amendment.

Overall, speech-plus is a powerful tool for expressing opinions and thoughts, but it is important to understand its limitations and legal implications.
