  • Social systems of sizeism and ableism deny fat bodies equal worth, access, and value. Outdated practices in healthcare invalidate personal autonomy, pathologize, and endanger big bodies.

Join MCN and Kaitlin Desselle July 10 to explore sizeism and ableism through the intersectional lens of sexism, racism, and classism. In this 2-hour virtual training, you'll discuss the implications of anti-fat bias in the workplace and learn how to create inclusive spaces for bodies of all sizes.
