NAAFA-LA celebrates
people of
all shapes and sizes!
The Los Angeles Chapter of NAAFA exists to provide our Southern California community a space for the advocacy and empowerment of peoples of various sizes, functions, and shapes. In short.
NAAFA-LA promotes
size diversity and acceptance!
We promote diversity and acceptance by supporting people of size; advocating for our legal, cultural, and interpersonal rights; and educating our members and the general public about vital, size-related issues. We are committed to personally and politically empowering people of size, demanding equal treatment and access for a variety of body types, and putting an end to damaging stereotypes about all body types.
NAAFA is a non-profit, human rights organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for fat people and other victims of sizeism. NAAFA has been working since 1969 to eliminate discrimination based on body size and to provide people of size with the tools for self-empowerment through public education, advocacy, and member support.
if you think size discrimination is
unfair and unacceptable,
join NAAFA-LA
today!

Big, fat hugs and salutations! Please feel free to grab a cup of tea, pull up a chair, and peruse our wares. This is an enormously exciting time for the chapter. We're organizing size-positive retreats, opportunities for community involvement, movie nights, and have recently begun discussing plans to celebrate International No Diet Day in May. If you would like to learn more about these "funtastic" (to quote a chapter member) events, please rummage through this site and/or contact us. This group is composed of several talented, intelligent, and dedicated people. We not only make a difference in our Southern California communities but also provide one another with a solid network of friendship and support. If you have felt lonely, frustrated, or stagnant as a result of unrealistic bodily ideals or negative cultural messages about your body type or size, NAAFA-LA will be a terrific resource for you. Come and make a difference with us! With fattitude,Lesleigh Owen, Ph.D. |

| The diet industry spends $50 billion a year promoting body hatred. We're not shooting for quite that much, but we would appreciate any spare change you'd like to throw our way. After all, we're combating a heck of a lot of body-negative cultural messages! If you'd like a receipt for your donation, please include your contact information. | ||
| Thanks for helping us have the means to battle size discrimination! | ||
