This is the Mobilizing Critical Disability Studies for Change logo. It is a drawing of a tree with two intertwining trunks. One trunk is dark green and the other is orange. The trunks are surrounded by leaves of many colours: purple, green, red, yellow, and brown. Under the roots of the tree is the name of the group, "Critical Disability Studies for Change".   Critical Disability Studies provide the roots or foundation for the group. The intertwining branches represent our intersectional approach and the leaves represent diverse disability communities.
