The #DisabilityPride flag was created by disabled artist Ann Magill to show pride and solidarity for the disability community. The black background symbolizes mourning and rage for victims of ableist violence or abuse and each colored stripe represents a different type of disability:  Red: Physical  Yellow: Cognitive and Intellectual  White: Invisible and undiagnosed  Blue: Psychosocial  Green: Sensory  The original flag created in 2019 was bright and had zig zag stripes but members of the disability shared feedback that the bright colors and/or zig zag stripes could negatively trigger their disabilities, such as migraines and seizures. The updated Disability Pride flag was released in October 2021.   Image description: The background is the Disability Pride flag of diagonal colors. The colors from right to left are: black, red, yellow, white, blue, green. The text is “Erie” and “It’s Disability Pride Month”. There are people with raised fists and two are carrying purple flags.

Last night, the Erie Family Health Centers Black Employee Resource Group hosted its 2nd annual Juneteenth Social at Ina Mae’s Tavern. A fantastic occasion to meet new faces and reunite with familiar ones as we commemorate “Freedom Day” with food and fellowship. Juneteenth is a company holiday at Erie, and we are closed for business. A big shoutout to my amazing co-chair, Kimberly M. Williams, for her exceptional coordination of this event. #Juneteenth #EmployeeEngagement
