In honor of July being Disability Pride Month, draw something incorporating any of the colors and symbolism of the Disability Pride flag that is in keeping with the overall theme of disability celebration, advocacy, and representation.
[EDIT: Since the Disability Pride flag itself has been known to trigger seizures for those with Epilepsy, I have decided to remove the image of it from this post. However, I’ve left the list of symbols in it and their meanings below. If you want to see the flag for yourself, you can click the “Source” link at the bottom of this post.]
“The black Field: Mourning for those who’ve suffered and died from Ableist violence, and also rebellion.
The Zig-zag Band: How disabled people must move around and past barriers, and our creativity in doing so.
The Five Colors: the variety of Disability and our needs and experiences (Mental illness, intellectual and Developmental Disability, Invisible and Undiagnosed Disabilities, Physical Disability, and Sensory Disabilities)
The Parallel Stripes: Solidarity within the Disability Community, despite our differences”
