Embody Lib Webinar: “Weight-Inclusive Food Justice: What the Movement is Missing, How it Holds People of the Global Majority Back, and How to Do Better”

Register for this live webinar* and gain insight into how the food justice movement, rooted in Black liberation, has evolved to promote supremacist thinking and colonialist ideology. You will learn how bodies and food can be used to uphold systems of oppression, including how social identities and their proximity to systemic power shape these beliefs. After expanding on the various pillars of food justice, Patrilie, the session facilitator, will guide session participants through a historical timeline, starting with the emergence of food insecurity in America into the public eye during the Civil Rights movement, ending with specific examples of how weight bias and anti-fatness interfere with working towards inclusive food justice. 

Dietitians and Nutrition Professionals can receive 1.5 CEUs for their live attendance.
