Welcome to One World, One Flag (oneworldoneflag.org), a community looking to offer a single flag that might serve as a universal focal point, a common veil, for all.

Naïve? Probably. But it strikes as odd that as the world shrinks yet splinters into more divergent and conflictive subsets, as it becomes impossible to ignore the ramifications of our interconnection and reliance on each other, there is no common symbol to represent the whole of us.

Which begs the chicken and egg question- which must come first, our unity, or a symbol to encourage and mark that unity? 1W1F would argue that it’s difficult to rally around a vision that has no form. To expect people to arrive at a meeting point that has never been placed on the map.

So let there be a world flag. A flag ignorant to boundaries and political or religious beliefs, a flag that recognizes and celebrates the power of both the individual and the whole- a flag that speaks for the hope and possibility of this.
