🌟 July is Disability Pride Month! 🌟 Disability Pride Month is celebrated in July to honor the history, achievements, experiences, and struggles of the #disability community. It coincides with the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was signed into law on July 26, 1990. The month is dedicated to raising awareness, fostering acceptance, and challenging misconceptions and stigmas about disabilities. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of individuals with disabilities and to advocate for their rights and inclusion in all aspects of society. FYI: Have you seen the disability #pride flag? The flag (shown in attached image) was designed by Ann Magill. The charcoal gray background commemorates and mourns disabled people who have died due to ableism, violence, negligence, suicide, rebellion, illness and eugenics. The diagonal band is for "cutting across" the walls and barriers that separate disabled people from society. It also represents the light and creativity of the disability community that cuts through the darkness of ableism. The stripes represent different disabilities: 💚green is for sensory disabilities, including the blind, deaf, and deaf-blind communities; 💙blue represents emotional and psychiatric disabilities; 🤍white stands for non-apparent and undiagnosed disabilities; 💛gold is for neurodivergence; ❤️red represents physical disabilities. Join us in celebrating the achievements, stories, and contributions of the disability community. Together, we can create a world where everyone can thrive. 💪
