From the creator's description:

It is a flagified version of the pale blue dot image taken by Voyager 1. The, "who speak for earth," is a callback to something said by Carl Sagan, the person who ensured the image's creation.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. -Carl Sagan

It's not bad. I maintain that the flag of Earth should feature a total solar eclipse, since we live on one of the exceedingly rare places that can even happen.
