About ASDAH Membership
ASDAH Members are committed to learning what health education leaves out about health and weight in order to create health equity for fat people. Become an ASDAH member to learn from those most impacted by medical fatphobia through a lens of liberation. Our team is made up of Black, fat, queer, gender diverse, and disabled leaders who prioritize learning from Black, fat thought-leaders in health justice. Join us if you support the Mission, Vision, and Values of ASDAH, and your work and/or personal life as a professional or advocate is in alignment with the Health At Every Size® (HAES®) Principles.
