The movement's flag (which in turn, is registered as a political party and thus has participated in past elections) is the one we label as "Sadrist Movement", which was originally published online here:

(source: https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it). The Sadrist Movement (Arabic: التيار الصدري al-Tayyār al-Sadrī) (also known as Sadr Bloc, or Sadr Current) is an Iraqi Shi'a Islamic national movement and political party, led by Muqtada al-Sadr.

It has been part of the Al-Ahrar Bloc (2014–2018) (for the 2014 parliamentary elections) and part of the Alliance Towards Reforms (Saairun)(other sources mention Sairoon (“Moving Forward”) (2018–2021) (for the 2018 and 2021 parliamentary elections) respectively and has participated in politics first since the Janaury 2005 parliamentary elections.

Over time, numerous factions in the Sadrist Movement disagreed with Muqtada al-Sadr over various issues and broke off, forming separate militias and parties:
- Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq
- Abu al-Fadl al-Abbas Forces
- Jaysh al-Mu'ammal
- Tashkil al-Hussein al-Tha'ir
- Kata'ib al-Tayyar al-Risali
- Islamic Virtue Party

The Sadrist Movement flag is a green horizontal background with a hand holding a black cane inside a yellow circle and below the Iraq flag with the inscription below "الكتلة الصدرية".
