This image is a promotional poster for an event titled "Nothing About Us Without Presents: Chaos or Community In Today's Dangerous Political Environment." The text is prominently displayed in a bold, sans-serif typeface, rendered in white against a solid black background, creating a stark contrast that makes the message stand out. Below the title, the poster provides details about the event, including the date, January 19, 2026, the time, 4-5:30 PM Eastern Time, and the platform on which it will be hosted, Substack Live. The event is hosted by Disability Supporters for Democracy, Inc.'s Board of Directors. To the right of the text, a whimsical, hand-drawn style illustration of a megaphone is featured, also in white against the black backdrop. The megaphone is surrounded by abstract lines and shapes, adding a playful yet urgent feel to the overall design. The combination of the serious subject matter and the lighthearted illustration creates an intriguing visual juxtaposition.

The image features white text on a black background, inviting viewers to watch a live event on Substack and participate. The text specifies that viewers will need to subscribe to the newsletter, "Nothing About Us Without Us," and encourages viewers to subscribe if they have not already done so. Below the text is a prominent QR code, also in white on a black background, which viewers can scan, presumably to subscribe to the newsletter or access the Substack event.

On 1/19/2026, Disability Supporters for Democracy, Inc.'s (our subsidiary nonprofit) is hosting a Substack event called Chaos or Community In Today's Dangerous Political Environment.
