Some of you may remember that a few months ago I took over as director of the Fat Activist Network. My first charge as director was to move the site to a new host. At that time, I decided to expand the scope of the site and include not just weight, but height as well. The result is the new Universal Network for Size Acceptance.

I invite you to visit the site, join and create your profile. It is not an organization, but a way for anyone who is involved or is a friend of the size acceptance community to network. The web address is http://sizeacceptance.wackwall.com. The site also maintains a Facebook group page, a Twitter page and a LinkedIn group page. All of which can be easily accessed from the main site. I have lsited the press release below and I hope to see you on the UNSA community soon!

Size Acceptance Community Unites
Fat, tall & little people have a new place to call home & find acceptance. The Universal Network for Size Acceptance has officially launched. A site dedicated to promoting size acceptance, UNSA is be the “Facebook” of the Size Acceptance movement.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 01, 2010 – UNSA is a free community of activists, advocates, supporters and friends of those who support size acceptance. UNSA is not an organization, but it is a place where organizations can reach members in a personal atmosphere.  http://sizeacceptance.wackwall.com/

The UNSA Community is unique in 2 ways. First, it encompasses not just fat people, but tall and little people as well. UNSA is a community that believes size is 3 dimensional and as such, should support people of all shapes and sizes. Secondly, it is a social community. Powered by the Wackwall Social Network Builder, UNSA allows users to befriend other users, join and create groups, post links, videos, pictures and forum topics. It allows all walks of the size acceptance movement to interact, collaborate, debate and most importantly, work to advance the cause of size acceptance.

The Universal Network for Size Acceptance invites all organizations and individuals to join and to use the site as a way to communicate group or personal activities. The site is located at http://sizeacceptance.wackwall.com/
