The Disability Pride Flag
Each Stripe Has a Meaning.

The Disability Pride Flag features stripes of muted colors over a black background. Each stripe represents a part of the disability community, including physical disabilities, neurodiversity, invisible and undiagnosed disabilities, psychiatric and emotional disabilities, and sensory disabilities.

Originally created in 2019 by Ann Magill, a writer with cerebral palsy, the flag was updated after community feedback to better accommodate people with visually triggered disabilities and color blindness.

This July, we honor and celebrate . The history behind this holiday dates back to July 1990, the historic month and year that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was finally signed into law, guaranteeing protection against discrimination for people with disabilities.

Historically, people with disabilities have been systemically excluded from public life. Disability Pride Month was created as a dedicated time to unlearn internalized ableism, honor the activists who fought for the basic rights we have today, and highlight the vibrant culture of disability communities.

Let us use this month to reflect and re-commit to uplifting people with both visible and invisible disabilities, and building a world where we all are included and celebrated.
