We need community support in order to make sure all our
presenters and panelists can make it to Detroit for the Conference in June. At our $3000 goal, we would be able to provide a small stipend for all involved AND
host a large-scale event where presenters, panelists, and attendees
will have a space safe for fellow beautiful, body accepting and
abundant bodies.

Abundant Bodies is in the final stretch of our fundraiser and we still have a LONG way to go to meet our goal. Donating to our fundraiser doesn’t just help us pay to support the track overall but it also goes to paying stipends for all of our presenters and help with travel for people who can’t afford to get to Detroit next month. Our track centers the voices of Indigenous, Black, People of Color, Dis/abled, Super-sized, Trans and Queer fat folks. The sessions we have this year will continue with that tradition.

We have so many amazing sessions including “Black Fat Femmes: Media and community representation” by Ashleigh Shackelford and Kytara Epps (one of our amazing coordinators), “Fat Femme of Color Sexuality” and a session for the podcast Bad Fat Broads. We will also have sessions on fat parenting and a Fat 201 session geared towards people who are interested in bringing a critical analysis of fatness into their own political work / organizing.

We only have 8 days left to meet our goal. Please help us by sharing and donating today!
