I'm so excited to be part of our community right now. We have an opportunity to get our voices heard and to push back against a seemingly unstoppable social stigma that gets ample time to be heard in the mainstream media and the public arena. How many times have we complained about how nobody speaks for us? How many times have we felt like we had to just take it, that we had no power?
Now we have an chance to band together, grassroots style, and loudly announce that fat shame helps nobody's health, and we're tired of being treated like less-than because our weight may be more than. If you've ever wanted to be part of something that allows us to empower our community and to take pride in the lives we live, then please consider supporting the Billboard Campaign against the horrible Strong4Life thing in Atlanta.
if you think the STANDards that are being created (http://www.dimensionsmagazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92086) are a great way to speak back against hate, then consider donating to a billboard campaign that will highlight a different, positive approach to health for kids and adults of all sizes. For $10,000, a billboard can be placed in Atlanta, in a high-traffic area, spreading a more inclusive image of healthy bodies, minds, and souls.
Donations of any size are welcome, and if this campaign raises $5,000 from at least 1,000 individuals, then More of me to Love will donate an additional $5,000. Information can be found in the link below:

I hope you will consider donating to this cause. We finally have something grassroots, created by us, for us, so we can have a say in how we are represented in the world, and hopefully we'll garner media attention that can spread this message far outside the Atlanta area.
