UCP+ Disability Pride Month 🫶👨‍🦼

20 Simple Ways to Be an Ally for Disability Pride Month & Always!

Disability Pride Month is more than a celebration—it’s a call to listen, learn, and lead with love. Whether you’re showing up in big or small ways, allyship matters.

This post shares 20 simple, everyday ways to stand in solidarity with the disability community—from language to access to design.

We used colors from the Disability Pride Flag throughout this post to honor the strength, diversity, and history of the community:

🔴 Red – Physical disabilities
🟡 Gold – Neurodivergence
🟢 Green – Sensory disabilities
🔵 Blue – Psychiatric disabilities
⚪ White – Invisible and undiagnosed disabilities
⚫ Black – Mourning and rage for those we’ve lost, and rejection of shame

👩🏽‍🦼♿️ UCP+ Disability Pride Month began as a celebration in 1990, the same year the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed. The first official observance was in July 2015, marking the ADA’s 25th anniversary.
➡️ Every July Disability Pride Month is Celebrated

The Disability Pride flag is rich with meaning:
🔴 Physical disabilities
🟡 Neurodiversity
⚪ Invisible & undiagnosed disabilities
🔵 Mental health & psychiatric conditions
🟢 Sensory disabilities
⚫ The black background honors victims of ableist violence. The diagonal stripe cuts through barriers, symbolizing creativity, connection, and hope.
