Promotional graphic for Disability Pride Month with a purple background and yellow accents. It features a screenshot of a virtual meeting with six blurred participants. Text on the image includes a quote by Lucy Webster: “In a world that ignores the disability community, standing together with pride is a radical act. And in a world that fundamentally devalues disabled lives, celebrating and being proud of ourselves is a radical act.”

As Disability Pride Month ends, DWI's pre-summer break chat was spent talking about rest, community and everything in between.

In a world that doesn't want us to be proud of ourselves, these spaces are vital.

Jacqui sits on a mobility scooter beside a body of water, wearing a vibrant top and pink shorts. The backdrop features a bold yellow and purple gradient. To the right, text reads: "I see disability as being part of my identity, I see it in a positive way, because it informed me and shaped the kind of person that I am." – Jacqui Browne. Beneath the quote is the title "Disability isn’t a Dirty Word, 2021."

This July, for #DisabilityPrideMonth, we’re revisiting our Disability Isn’t a Dirty Word campaign - a celebration of identity, visibility, and pride in being disabled.

We begin by honouring Jacqui Browne - a tireless advocate for equality and inclusion.

Muted shades in a diagonal stripe pattern make up the Disability Pride Flag: •Green represents Sensory Disabilities •Blue represents Psychiatric Disabilities •White represents non-visible and undiagnosed Disabilities •Gold (yellow) represents Cognitive and Intellectual Disabilities •Red represents Physical Disabilities.

July is #DisabilityPrideMonth.

We’ll be resharing stories from our #DisabilityIsntADirtyWord Campaign.

In a time of growing rollbacks on equality, diversity and inclusion we remember that disabled people matter.

We take pride in who we are - and we celebrate each other.
