Our society talks about fat people, wages war on fat people, and dictates to fat people. Rarely are we talked to, rarer still are we given a place in discussions about us.

The fat rights movement is here, we’ve been here for a while, and we deserve to speak for ourselves, in our own words. That’s what this project is about – creating a space for fat activists to tell our story and create a verbal history accessible for free to anyone who can get on the internet.

I talked about this project today at the Fat Activism Conference and realized that I hadn’t updated this website.  I am still collecting videos but I’m not posting more at the moment and the GoFundMe is currently on hold while I revise the project to be both more inclusive and less expensive.  To get updates about the project join the mailing list at http://eepurl.com/BBXyX

In the meantime you can check out the currently videos here and help me connect with fat activists who have a story to tell.  E-mail me their contact information (or have them e-mail me) at ragen at danceswithfat dot org.
