August is Fat Liberation Month!
We welcome you to the home of NAAFA’s 6th Annual Fat Liberation Month!
We are celebrating ourselves, and we invite you to join us for the celebration!
The mission of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance is to change perceptions of fat and end size discrimination through advocacy, education, and support. Each August, we host numerous special events that show the world how fat people are thriving despite society’s biases and prejudices.
Use #FatLiberationMonth on your favorite social media sites to show off how you’re celebrating and to check out how others are celebrating, too!
