Disability Pride

Disability Pride



July is Disability Pride Month (commemorating the 1990 passing of the Americans With Disabilities Act – the ADA.)

This is the Disabled Pride Flag designed in 2021 by Ann Magill with each element symbolizing a different aspect of the disabled experience.

All six "standard" flag colors: Disability spans borders between states and nations

Black Field: Mourning for victims of ableist violence and abuse

Diagonal Band: "Cutting across" the walls and barriers that separate the disabled from society

Red Stripe: Physical Disabilities

Gold Stripe: Neurodivergence

White Stripe: Invisible and undiagnosed disabilities

Blue Stripe: Psychiatric disabilities

Green Stripe: Sensory disabilities
