A petition to reinstate Minnesota’s original state flag—after it was redesigned by a committee—has surpassed 10,000 signatures.
The petition, filed on Change.org, is approaching 11,000 signatures. “We’ve hit 10,000 signatures already so let’s keep it going!” an X post reads, while urging even more residents to join the effort to “get our flag back.
Supporters of the petition argue that the redesign approved in 2024 by Gov. Tim Walz and the state legislature fails to reflect the people of Minnesota. They lament how the change was imposed “without consulting the broader Minnesota community,” and say the original 1893 flag carries richer historical symbolism.
