Petition: Tell California City to Reverse Its Regressive Pride Flag Ban

Want to reach our audience?
In a disturbing move, the city of Downey, California, has banned the display of Pride flags on city property, bending to pressures from an anti-LGBTQ+ hate group. This decision is simply wrong – the flag restriction serves only to divide and stigmatize, creating an environment of exclusion and intolerance.
This ban, which undermines the values of diversity and inclusion, comes at a time when unity and public representation are more crucial than ever. The flag policy, which restricts what flags can be shown, was pushed forward despite strong opposition from community leaders, including Mayor Mario Trujillo and Councilmember Horacio Ortiz, who are both proud members of the LGBTQ+ community. Their voices, along with numerous residents and officials, have highlighted the policy’s implicit bias and harmful implications.
Please sign this petition to urge the Downey City Council to overturn this regressive policy and reaffirm its commitment to all its residents!
