"Reclaim Our Flag" is a non-profit, non-politically aligned organization that seeks to promote and highlight the patriotic progressive actions of individuals and organizations who oppose Trump, Trump-ism, and threats to our Democracy such as gerrymandering, racism, attacks on journalism and facts, weak campaign finance laws and voter-suppression. We seek to promote the stated ideals of Flag as a symbol of all Americans and for those fighting for Liberty and Justice for All. We seek to connect the varied Resistance movements pro-American Democracy movements with a common symbol of our Flag and also to link present activism to our collective Resistance predecessors. We advocate for greater visibility and inclusion of the American flag as we fight to reinvigorate our Democracy. The Flag is a symbol unifying people in all 50 States (and territories) made of colors representing our Patriotic efforts: “Red for courage and readiness to sacrifice; white for pure intentions and high ideals; and blue for vigilance and justice.”*

We - who have been spurred to action since November 8, 2016 - are Patriots joining many others who have been fighting for fundamental American ideals and moral causes for generations. We are people from all corners of the Nation, ethnic and religious backgrounds and walks of life. In reality, many of us are "accidental" Patriots (but Patriots none-the-less) as we are unified in a fight - each in our own way - for an America based on Liberty and Justice for All.

As we organize, exercise our atrophied democratic muscles and fight for our Democracy - we simultaneously *Reclaim Our Flag*. To some people on the Left of the political spectrum - the flag has become misunderstood and ceded to the Right and an object of scorn and jingoistic idolatry. This is a travesty and harmful to our Democracy and to the identities of Progressive Patriots. Historically, the Right has often been able to co-opt the Flag to manipulate it's power to mobilize national pride and claim it as a symbol of their agenda and as synonymous with their definitions of being "American". The Right has similarly claimed authorship of who is a "Patriot", attacks patriotic politicians simply for not wearing Flag pins, and tried to regulate that flag burning be made illegal - all of these are absurd and opposite to what the Flag itself represents and true American values. We who oppose Trump and advocate for fixing our Democracy are Patriots, have our legitimacy and power rooted in the freedoms outlined in the U.S. Constitution - and we properly represent and are represented by the American Flag.

As we vote, rally, protest, call/meet with our representatives, plan to run for office, support candidates who advance Progressive goals, speak out against Trumpism, debate the in-laws about what an "American" looks like - we actually Honor the Flag as the symbol representing the best ideals of this great Nation. So, as you fight, resist, engage (there are literally millions of us) like you! - fellow Patriot - reclaim the Flag it is rightfully OURS.

We of "ReclaimOurFlag" are not sponsored by any political Party/group, we are Patriots striving to improve and save our Democracy and in so doing Reclaim Our Flag.
