These are hand flags with the disability pride flag on them, 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"
