What Is Disability Pride Month & Why It Matters More Than Ever!

What is Disability Pride Month? Why do disabled people celebrate it? And why is it especially important this year? In this video, I break down what Disability Pride Month is all about—including its origins, the meaning behind the Disability Pride Flag, and the myths we still need to challenge in 2025. With proposed cuts to disability benefits in the UK and threats to Medicaid access in the US, this year's Disability Pride Month is about more than just visibility—it's about resistance, solidarity, and systemic change. I also share: The three key goals of Disability Pride Month What each colour on the Disability Pride Flag represents Why we can be proud to be disabled, even when it’s hard How both disabled and non-disabled people can support the community year-round Disability isn’t a tragedy, it’s a natural part of human diversity. Pride and difficulty can coexist. And disabled people deserve to be celebrated.
