Starting the New Year with Fat Joy and Fat Community at Fat Con
2024 started with a gathering of over 200 fat folx in Seattle for Fat Con, three days of making fat friends and exploring various aspects of fat liberation. NAAFA Board Members Dawn Clark and Elaine Lee, report back on how impressed they were with this new addition to the world of fat-positive gatherings.
Anti-Racism Resources - January 2024
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 Interrupting Racist Conversations.
Fund Fat Forever!
At the end of 2023, we asked you to #FundFat by donating to help NAAFA build programming and do policy work that supports fat community, fat labor, fat freedom, and fat joy. And you answered the call! We raised thousands of dollars, connected with new donors, and saw deepened commitment from so many in our community. Read more about how the year end fundraiser went and why our community must continue to Fund Fat.
