The California Gadsden Variant is a modern protest flag associated with anti‑government demonstrations in California, particularly in Sacramento, during 2024. Drawing from the all‑caps description used by demonstrators, the flag is characterized as a CALIFORNIA GADSDEN VARIANT AS POPULARIZED DURING ANTI‑GOVERNMENT DEMONSTRATIONS IN CALIFORNIA AND SACRAMENTO IN 2024, reflecting its emergence as a regional symbol of dissent and civic resistance.

Visually, the flag features a yellow field with a black bear standing on a patch of ground, accompanied by a black five‑pointed star and the bold motto “DON’T TREAD ON US.” The design merges the historic Gadsden flag’s defiant message with California’s state iconography, especially the bear emblem. Its adoption in 2024 protests marked a localized reinterpretation of American protest symbolism, emphasizing state identity, grassroots activism, and opposition to perceived governmental overreach.
