Traveling Fat and Disabled
July is Disability Pride Month. About 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. has a disability, and at least half of the U.S. population is considered fat, yet transit and travel are still expensive, inaccessible, and sometimes impossible for larger-bodied people and/or disabled people. This month, NAAFA Executive Director Tigress Osborn, freshly returned from a month-long trip for NAAFA, shares some thoughts about traveling fat and disabled, as well as about the role NAAFA plays in travel accessibility advocacy. In a sidebar, we also examine some of the extra costs of traveling while fat and/or disabled.

Anti-Racism Resources - July 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 Disability Pride Month.
