How Can I Help?
Welcome to the team! There are many ways you can play a meaningful role in the effort. Here are just a few ways:
- Become an advocate and help spread the word to your friends, family and others. When you tell people about good flag design, they often realize that a new flag would be beneficial, and care more about it than they thought they did. Every like, share, retweet and comment brings us closer to our goal, a #NewMNFlag! Follow us at:
- Contact your state senator and representatives, telling them why you think Minnesota needs a new flag. Don’t know what to say? It’s simple:
- Hello, my name is____ and I’m from____ Minnesota. I’m contacting you today to ask you to support efforts to improve the Minnesota State Flag and Seal by accepting the State Emblems Redesign Commission’s recommendations.
- I believe this is important because____.
- Can I count on your support?
- Ensure they follow through, co-authoring to show their support, and let us know we can count on their support.
- Repeat. Talk with your friends, family, coworkers, anyone, about the Minnesota flag, and why it’s important they get involved too.
