Disability Flag For Disability Pride Square Sticker
Show your disabled students that you'll show up for them. Make them feel included in your classroom. March is one of the Disability Awareness/pride months, and April is Autism Acceptance, and October is as well. Representation is super important and making your students feel seen is key. This is the Disability Pride flag designed by Ann McGill, a disabled artist who collaborated with the community in the process. She's asked that it be used widely and freely and put it in public domain. This is the symbolism: "The Black Field: Represents our mourning for those of us (disabled people) who have suffered, lost their lives from Ableist violence, negligence, suicide and/ or eugenics. The Parallel Stripes: These represent solidarity within the Disability Community, despite our differences. The Five Colors: These colors represent the diversity within disability and our experiences (Mental Illness, Neurodiversity, Invisible and Undiagnosed Disabilities, Physical Disability, and Sensory Disabilities). The colors stand for: Red: physical disabilities Yellow: cognitive and intellectual disabilities White: invisible and undiagnosed disabilities Blue: mental illness Green: sensory perception disabilities" --- This has a good summary: https://www.meriahnichols.com/the-disability-pride-flag/ Image description created by the original creator minus my *edit: a “Straight Diagonal” version of the Disability Pride Flag: A charcoal grey flag with a diagonal band from the top left to bottom right corner, made up of five parallel stripes in red, gold, pale grey, blue, and green Description ends
