On May 26, 2023 New York City Mayor Eric Adams signed bill 209-A into law, making height and weight discrimination illegal in New York City in the areas of housing, employment, and public accommodation. NAAFA friends and supporters, including bill sponsor Council Member Shaun Abreu, gathered in NYC in celebration of the bill’s passage. 

Then, NAAFA Chair Tigress Oborn joined author/podcaster Aubrey Gordon at the Tribeca Film Festival for the debut of Your Fat Friend and for Celebrating Fat Victories, a Sunday afternoon dialogue between Tigress and Aubrey about the film, NYC’s new law, and developments across the fatosphere.

Each month, we will be featuring educational resources on the NAAFA Community Voices Blog. Some resources will be historic information about systemic racism. Others will be resources on doing the internal work of understanding ourselves and how we play a part in that system.

This month we're talking about LGBTQ Pride Month.
