 The American Flag is the iconic logo of our Democracy and Patriotism with the potential to unify

​

American progressive causes and resistance movements (such as Women's Suffrage and Civil Rights movements) have created iconic logos. We believe that the American flag has been and must now be re-emphasized as the common and unifying symbol of modern progressive movements and activism - particularly in response to Trumpism and GOP malfeasance. Flags are useful to demonstrate and honor of the ideals of Liberty and Justice, sacrifices of our predecessors who fought to advance our freedoms and also to identity and take pride in our democratic actions as part of a continuum of the ideals of the Flag in historic Resistance movements. Since the election of Donald J. Trump - all historic civil rights causes and progress - are yet again under assault. We hope that election inspires a second era of broad and sustained American activism.

Our common Flag has 50 stars  representing Americans and justice for all Americans in all 50 States, connected in one indivisible Republic. We must reclaim the same sense of common goals and National engagement. Our causes must unite us. Our Flag is the ideals of Liberty and Jusice for All. 

​

Injustice and inequalities in some States (such as voter suppression, and gerrymandering) affects every State - and the entire Nation.

​

All future social progress in action and in visibility must reclaim our Democracy and our common Flag.
