The Irish flag is all of ours! Join the campaign!
At Quality Matters, we have spent many years working alongside social services, community organisations to build innovative, compassionate support across Ireland. Through this work, we see every day how inclusion, dignity and connection strengthen our communities and make us stronger. That’s why we’re proud to support the
#OurFlag campaign, a movement to reclaim the Irish flag from messages of fear and division.
Every Irish family has had among its ancestors refugees and immigrants, 3 out of 5 children in the 50s left the country as they felt Ireland had nothing for them. This is our history. We need to let politicians know that we will not tolerate the scapegoating of refugees and migrants. This does not present Irish values or honor our past. These messages belong to corporate America and UK, not Ireland.
There are political solutions that will provide housing and employment for all. This needs t be our focus - we need our leaders to be brave and reach for these - now is not the time for business as usual and it is not the time for blaming the most vulnerable.
From today, December 1st, join us and communities and organisations across Ireland in sharing a photo or short video with the flag, or simply on your local street, along with a few words about what the flag or an inclusive Ireland means to you.
Let’s fill Ireland’s feeds with hope, solidarity and stories of belonging.
