Who we are:
A local chapter dedicated to size acceptance and better lives for both plus-sized and supersized people.
History of National NAAFA:
Founded in 1969, the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance is a non-profit human rights organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for large-size people. NAAFA works to eliminate discrimination based on body size and provides large-size people with the tools for self-empowerment through public education, advocacy and member support.
What is our purpose?:
We work toward providing equal opportunity for large-size people wherever obstacles and/or discrimination exist. We disseminate information about the sociological, psychological, legal, medical and physiological aspects of being large-sized.
What we do:
We are a group of diverse fat people and those that admire fat people, who are dedicated to healthy living without dieting. We celebrate ourselves as we are. We have social activities, meetings and educational workshops. Our goal is to provide a supportive local environment in which to grow, learn, teach, and have some fun.
