Happy Fat Liberation Month!
Happy Fat Liberation Month!
2025 marks the 5th annual Fat Liberation Month, started by the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA) after writer Clark Beltran wrote an essay for its Community Voices Blog about his desire for a Fat Pride Month. Fat Liberation Month celebrates fat people around the world and throughout history, while also bringing awareness to social campaigns and legislation aimed at protecting fat people and our rights.
All throughout August, Fat Forward Books will celebrate this important month with additional author interviews, community events, giveaways, and more! You can also check out NAAFA's full schedule, which has tons of virtual and in-person events on offer.
