The NAAFA Chronicles reflect a piece of fat acceptance/fat activist history. In the February-March 1989 issue you will find: a “Declaration of the Rights of Fat People in Health Care,” information on a case won by a fat, disabled employee against their former employer for wrongful termination, a report from the activism committee, and more!

Each month, we feature educational resources in the NAAFA Newsletter to support our community in working to dismantle racism. Resources may include historical information, tools for personal reflection, or information about how to get involved and make change. Many of the resources we suggest will be introductory resources, and this information is never intended to be full coverage on the complex and nuanced topics that are chosen each month.
This month we invite you to join us in exploring resources about Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
