Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

Cure ableism not disability. Disabled people get asked what is wrong with them by strangers, coworkers and doctors who never ask why the building has no elevator. The stairs, the inaccessible website and the job ad that screens out a cane are the things that need fixing. This tee says so with a quarter arc and a few sparkles behind the words.

Shoppers looking for a disability pride shirt for July often want one that pushes back instead of apologizing. It suits a Disability Pride Month parade, a city council hearing on curb cuts, and the waiting room where someone always asks what happened to you.

The shirt is a Comfort Colors 1717 in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, dyed after it is sewn so it feels worn in from day one. The print is direct to garment, so the ink goes into the cotton and the design stays soft instead of cracking.

Cut unisex and relaxed, it runs true to size from S to 4XL in White, Bay, Blossom, Chambray, Ivory and Banana. Also as a hoodie and a sweatshirt. Read how disabled activists won the laws we rely on today on our disability rights movement page.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Common questions

What does cure ableism not disability mean? It means the barriers are the problem to solve: inaccessible buildings, biased hiring and dismissive care, not the disabled person living with them.

Would this work for a July Disability Pride Month parade? Yes. July is Disability Pride Month in the US, and this tee was made for the parades, panels and meetups that fill it.

Can a disability advocacy group order matching tees? Yes. One order can carry every size and color your group needs for a march or an awareness day.

Will the print survive a lot of washing? Yes. Direct-to-garment ink sits inside the fabric, so it stays soft and does not peel off.

Wear it to: the hearing, the clinic, Disability Pride Month in July, the parking lot where someone took your spot.

Fabric and fit

Comfort Colors 1717: 6.1 oz 100 percent ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed and soft-washed so it feels broken in from the first wear. Relaxed unisex fit, true to size, S to 4XL in eight colors. Double-needle stitching, no side seams, sewn-in label.

Measurements for every size are on the size and fit guide.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
