Oakland, CA – The National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance is a human rights organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for fat people everywhere. This year NAAFA has chosen the Chicago area for our annual convention to encourage and promote size acceptance. We will be working closely with the Chicago NAAFA chapter and Linda's Big Connections to bring you the best convention ever.
Mark your calendars because on July 10-15, 2007, people of all sizes will come together from every corner of the country to celebrate our size and our lives at this annual fund raising event. We are currently in negotiations with a hotel and will announce that location as soon as the contract has been finalized. There are even more surprises in store for this convention which will be announced within the next few weeks. Be sure to check our website for details as they are released.
NAAFA works to eliminate discrimination based on body size and provide fat people with the tools for self-empowerment through public education, advocacy, and member support. This year’s convention will encourage people to enjoy Health at Every Size as we participate in workshops and activities such as Water Aerobics, Yoga, Dance, Singing, Writing, Theater and more. Join us as we celebrate life.
