Conflicting Needs: Moving NOLOSE from Scarcity to Abundance

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

In this workshop we will talk about the complicated and sometimes conflicting needs needs of our communities--how do we center BIPOC Nolosers effectively? How do we make a conference both broadly accessible to people with diverse disabilities, and also financially accessible? How do we build capacity in rural areas when the burden of travel to a national conference is so high, and how do we make sure we have enough attendance to keep Nolose solvent if we move? Who’s not in the room? How do we honor who’s here and who’s not, and how do we support a movement for fat liberation everywhere? In this workshop we’re going to surface our various needs, think about how scarcity affects how we engage with Nolose, talk about the real limitations that Nolose has as an organization and that we have as individuals and community members, and collectively dream up ways to work with what we’ve got to make Nolose fabulous and fattastic going forward! Bring your creativity and problem-solving moxie!
