Anti-women lawmakers want to permanently ban abortion coverage, making us even more grateful for champions like Mazie Hirono who are committed to ensuring all of us can get safe & affordable abortion care!

This morning, we headed to Capitol Hill with a BOLD message for the new Congress: We won’t be punished by politicians who want to shame or bully us, deny our coverage, or put women and doctors in jail.

I got A LOT of questions on yesterday’s post about how to respond to fat shaming incidents without trying to reassure someone that they are not fat. So I thought I would address all the comments in one post:
When trying to comfort someone who has been bullied for their weight, most people respond by trying to reassure the targeted person that “they’re not fat, they’re beautiful.” But that only perpetuates the assumption that being fat is not okay, an insult, snd a problem to be solved.
If we do this, then that bullied person will learn that their body can evade criticism if and only if it does not change at all.
That spells trouble.
The question for people trying to unlearn fatphobia then becomes “how do I respond to a friend/child/daughter being fat shamed without trying to reassure her that she is not fat?” Our task is to address the feelings of insults and personal affronts without buying into the assumption that fat is a problem.
My advice is to say to the targeted person: “Bodies are supposed to come in all different shapes and sizes, and it’s not okay that someone is trying to make you feel bad about that. You have done nothing wrong. You are only existing in your body.” This way, we can console distressed emotions, but still continue to fight for the day in which yelling “you’re fat!” incites the same connotations and emotional responses as yelling “you have size 7 feet! You have brown hair! You have green eyes! You have big earlobes!” etc. etc. etc.
Let’s change the way that we respond to fat bullying by putting the onus back on the perpetrator and reinforce the notion that the targeted person does not need to change a thing about themselves.

This is something I couldn’t agree more on and something I really feel strongly about. I’m FAT! Just read this if you don’t understand why I embrace the word fat! #Repost @frannamstyle

Reposted from @thefatphobiaslayer I beg you, for the love of all that is sacred, please stop correcting fat people when they call themselves fat! Fat is a neutral descriptor, just like “tall” or “blonde.” Imagine if you called yourself blonde and your best friend said “don’t say that about yourself. You’re not blonde, you’re beautiful.” You would become VERY insecure of your hair color. The same applies to body size!!! #fatphobia #nondiet #bodypositive #effyourbeautystandards #fatliberation #Intersectional #bodypositivity #selflove #bopo #bodyacceptance #confidence #riotsnotdiets #allbodiesaregoodbodies

This holiday season we are celebrating by sharing some organizations we are passionate about and our initiatives to promote them.
For Day 6 of the 12 Days of Giving, we are shining a light on @gather4justice:
The Gathering for Justice’s mission is to build a movement to end child incarceration while working to eliminate the racial inequities that permeate the justice system. With all that is going on in the world - take the time to take a stand, and make people listen. We must all come together to make a difference. Be involved, be BOLD.
From our Founder & Creative Director @stacyigel in a blog post from June 1st, 2020:
“Luis Hernandez is one of our incredible AMBASSADORS, is the Founder of Youth Over Guns & the Head of Youth Leadership at the Gathering for Justice. We have worked with Luis on many initiatives, together we joined forces on this panel I moderated “Art, Activism, and Impact” & we have supported the organizations he is a part of for the past two years. I asked him if his team at the NY Justice League needed support at this time, therefore - we have donated today to support their work. Learn more about what they are doing at this time to help create change here. Please follow Luis Hernandez to see more of his work, he is truly an incredible person."
Our F*CK SILENCE & F*CK RACISM Unisex T-Shirts are in support of this organization.

We must right this wrong before it is too late. We certainly don’t need a wall badly enough to condone the psychological torture of children. We need a mirror to reflect upon who we fundamentally are and what we are in danger of becoming. Our nation’s moral compass has been thrown, it is time to find our true north again. This is my call to human decency.
