The image is a save-the-date announcement for a Disability Pride Gaming Fundraising event. The event is scheduled for September 20, 2025, and is hosted by the Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. The announcement features a retro-inspired design with neon-colored game controllers and a grid pattern reminiscent of old video games. The text "Gaming Together" is prominently displayed in bold, signifying the collaborative and inclusive nature of the event. The event aims to raise funds for disability pride initiatives, promoting awareness and celebrating the contributions of individuals with disabilities. The inclusion of game controllers suggests a fun and engaging fundraising activity, likely involving video games. Overall, the image effectively communicates the purpose and theme of the event, inviting participants to join in the celebration of disability pride through gaming. This is a recruitment poster for gamers with a disability. It features a neon pink and blue color scheme with a retro gaming aesthetic. The poster asks "Do you love playing video games? Do you have a connection to the disability community? If the answer is yes, we are looking for gamers!" There is a QR code to sign up at the bottom right of the poster and the contact information for the organization, Disability Community for Democracy.

This is a poster announcing a virtual rally organized by Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. The event is titled "Bed-In: STOP RFK Jr's Autism Registry Virtual Rally: Speaker Preview Part 1". The poster features a stylized image of three hands raised in the air, symbolizing unity and strength. The event aims to raise awareness and oppose the proposed autism registry by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The virtual rally will feature speakers discussing the potential harms of such a registry and advocating for the rights of individuals with autism. This is a headshot of Jesenia, a member of the Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. Jesenia has bright red lips and is wearing a denim jacket. Her hair is styled in a short, choppy bob with pink and blonde highlights. She is wearing round glasses and a pair of earrings. The photo was taken outdoors on a sunny day. A headshot of a man with short black hair, wearing black-framed glasses, smiling at the camera. He is wearing a dark blue polo shirt with a red collar and the words "Polo Sport" on the chest. The background is a light blue wall. The image is captioned with "Timotheus "T.J." Gordon Jr. Disability Community for Democracy, Inc." The image is likely a portrait of a man who works for or is associated with Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. The image is professional and conveys a sense of warmth and approachability.

Speak out with peaceful protests against this latest government action in Los Angeles. A formal statement from our CEO and Founder is coming soon. #DisabilityJustice #TheRuleOfLaw #DueProcess #Immigrants
The image contains a statement from the Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. It advocates for upholding the rule of law and against taking individuals off the streets without due process. The statement emphasizes that this is not about left versus right, but about right versus wrong. It highlights the importance of protecting marginalized groups, including those with disabilities, from being denied due process. The message encourages everyone to speak out against injustice, regardless of their political stance, as it is a matter of collective safety and well-being.
