NAAFA NEWSLETTER ARTICLES
The NAAFA Newsletter is our monthly electronic publication updating our community on NAAFA plans, programming, and other important news. The newsletter is edited and approved by the Board of Directors Communications Committee.
Community Connections Across the Country
Local fat events are increasing all over the country, and we’ve got a plan to make it to as many as possible. Our board members and other volunteers have been setting up at pool parties, fashion shows, block parties, and conferences to meet and greet you, give lectures and lead workshops, and give and receive big fat hugs (consensually, of course!) This year, we’ve done this in many fat community spaces, as well as at Pride events and activist gatherings where we can share our message with folks who aren’t already familiar with fat liberation.
Anti-Racism Resources - September 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 Latinx Heritage Month.
