Fat Liberation Cannot Occur without Black Liberation

We aren’t releasing a new episode of SAF this week as originally planned. Rather than putting new content into your feeds, we are going to share a list of resources to support the fight against racist, violent police brutality. We’re also going to share some work by fat black writers, exposing how intertwined fatphobia and anti-black racism are. Fat Liberation can not occur without Black Liberation.
