Fat Resilience and Fat Resistance Part II: Intersectional Solidarity in 2025
Major shifts in the political landscape will always impact NAAFA’s work. NAAFA is a non-partisan organization. That should never be confused with NAAFA being an apolitical organization. We are political in every sense of the word. Our politics today include a deeper, more explicit intersectional commitment than we’ve ever had. NAAFA will continue to work within the system for fat justice regardless of who is in office. We do not believe that legislation is liberation, but we do believe that change to government policies can be a powerful part of improving fat people’s lives.
Anti-Racism Resources - January 2025
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 MLK’s Radical Politics
