Promotional image for a book launch event. On the left is the cover of the book "Ramping Up Rights: An Unfinished History of British Disability Activism" by Rachel Charlton-Dailey, featuring two waving Disability Pride flags on a green background. On the right, text reads: “Ramping Up Rights with Rachel Charlton-Dailey. Weds 9 July Stockton Library. Book launch & conversation on disability justice.” The background shows a protest scene with banners and people, tinted in purple. A black and green box at the bottom says, “Do you want to fight for disability rights? Join! Difference NE.”
