Disability Pride Flag
An updated the design in 2021 to address visual issues brought by the community.
🏴 3' x 5' Disability flag with grommets and double stitched edges to reduce fraying.
✍️ The Design: The Disability Pride Flag was created by Ann Magill, a disabled woman. Her design includes:
- The Black Field: A color of mourning; for those who have suffered from Ableist violence, and also rebellion and protest.
- The Zigzag/Lightning Bolt: How disabled people must navigate barriers, and the creativity in doing so; breaking free from normative authority and body control
- The Five Colors: The variety of needs and experiences (Mental Illness, Intellectual and Developmental Disability, Invisible and Undiagnosed Disabilities, Physical Disability, and Sensory Disabilities)
- The Parallel Stripes: Solidarity within the Disability Community and all its differences.
See the Size Guide video below to see Michael explain every size we offer.
🧵 Single Sided Flags are durable 200D polyester (most flags you'll find on the internet are cheap ~75D) with two grommets on the hoist edge. In our testing, we selected 200D as the perfect flag material; anything heavier doesn't fly well and the "back" doesn't get enough ink, anything lighter feels cheap and wont last very long.
🧵 Double Sided Flags are three layers, two art layers sandwiching a blackout fabric in between complete with two grommets on the hoist edge. These flags are heavier than the single sided and take more wind to get going. Perfect for flag pole display.
Each flag is folded by hand on our dining room table and ready to be used on a flag pole, boat, hung on a wall, or to proudly march with.
Created in the most Earth-conscious way we can. We use home-compostable and discreet shipping bags.
