Alliance for a Better Utah is a nonprofit that holds politicians accountable and advocates for progressive policies that make Utah an even better place.

Introducing the “Belonging” Pride Flag – a protest flag born in Salt Lake City.

What makes this beauty special? It’s the exact design adopted by the Salt Lake City Council on May 6, 2025 that used a loophole in the pride flag ban bill (HB 77) to show solidarity with marginalized communities and protest the Utah Legislature’s malicious law that made Utah the first state in the county to ban pride flags in schools and government property.

Thanks to the strategically placed Salt Lake sego lily emblem, this is NOT a pride flag (wink, wink)—it’s an OFFICIAL MUNICIPAL FLAG that can legally grace any building in Salt Lake City.
