SOCIAL ACTIVISM: Your Voice in Weight and Obesity Bias
TONIGHT'S PROGRAM IS SPONSORED BY CELEBRATE VITAMINS at www.celebratevitamins.com.
Following on the heels of the recent remarks from Dr. John Kelly and Outpatient Surgery Magazine, tonight's program will focus on advocacy and how your voice matters in the fight to end weight and obesity bias and discrimination.
Special guests: James Zervios, Director of Communications and Joe Nadglowski, CEO and President of the Obesity Action Coalition, and Dr. Connie Stapleton.
Much has been said about the article itself, but rather than focus on hurt feelings and negative feedback, our focus tonight is on how YOUR voice can lend towards ending bias. Weight and size bias is one of the last socially accepted forms of discrimination, and programs like The Obesity Action Coalition's "Bias Busters," are working towards erasing that mindset.
Please join us tonight for discussion, thoughts, ideas, and information about how your voice can help. The call-in # is 347-857-2052.
