Change Montana's State Flag

The Issue

Montana is my home state, and it has always held a special place in my heart. The vast landscapes, the majestic mountains, and the vibrant community are just a few aspects that make Montana truly unique and wonderful. However, there is one thing that has always disappointed me – our state flag. I believe Montana deserves a flag that represents its rich cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty. The current design feels more like a blue bedsheet with words and a seal in the middle, rather than a banner that we can be proud to fly.

The flag pictured is my proposal for a redesign. The flag's symbolism is as follows:
- Yellow: plains of the east
- Blue: blue skies & Missouri River
- White: snow
- Triangles pointing up: Rocky Mountains & northern identity
- Bitterroot flower: state flower
- 7-pointed star in flower: 7 Indian reservations

Let us call upon the Montana State Legislature to consider redesigning our state flag. We urge them to engage with local artists, historians, and the community to create a flag that reflects the true spirit of Montana. By doing so, we can cultivate an image that reinforces our pride in our state and strengthens our sense of belonging.

Please sign this petition to support the redesign of Montana's state flag and help us take the first step toward a future where our flag reflects the pride we have in our home state. Together, we can ensure that Montana flies a banner that truly represents the heart and soul of our beloved state.
