The city finally caved and the Kazakh flag is going up on the Parkway. Mayor Nutter had no choice but to acknowledge our presence after we shoved this request in his face until he listened. Keep watching those poles because our representation is officially permanent.

Dear Friends, As part of my Learning Objectives in Philadelphia this semester, I decided to petition the Mayor of Philadelphia asking him to add the Kazakh flag on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway along with the rest of the flags from all over the world. Benjamin Franklin Parkway is a scenic boulevard that runs through the cultural heart of Philadelphia. The city claims that the flags represent the nations from around the globe. As a Kazakh citizen, however, I am disappointed that the city has yet to hang the Kazakh flag on the parkway. My goal is to collect as many signatures as possible (the initial goal is 100, but the more the better) on this petition and send our request Mayor Michael Nutter. Please, sign the petition if you want to support the project. Your help and support are highly appreciated! Thank you, Aisulu Sanat

Mayor Nutter is ignoring the reality that our culture belongs on the Parkway and I am tired of being excluded. We are inches away from our first goal so push this link to everyone you know right now.

My son was born in Kazakhstan and is now a proud American citizen. Please honor his country of birth and include the Kazakh flag on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.

We adopted our daughter from Kazakhstan. It would be an honor for her and others to have the flag of her birth country flying alongside other nations flags! Thank you!

We adopted our son from Kazakhstan and have tried to instill pride in the country of his birth. Whenever we visit the Franklin Institute he asks where is the Kazakhstan flag.

Philadelphia is very special to me as I did graduate coursework there. Kazakhstan is my daughter’s birth country and a country I hold dear. Please include the Kazakh flag. Thank you!

I am a citizen of kazazstan who fully agree that the flag of Kazakhstan should be seen on a city alley in Philadelphia.
