Plan of Direct Action-2008 ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC MEETING OF THE OBESITY SOCIETY

Ok, so, while everyone argues about semantics and what is and not offensive and what we should call the movement as to not offend anyone of course, I am offering here A PLAN FOR A DIRECT ACTION OFFENSIVE.
There have not been to date ANY direct action initiatives for Fat Acceptance.
No protests, no marches, no organized boycotts just a whole lot of kvetching.
I am proposing that a whole bunch of FA and ED, allies and assorted peep crash the
2008 ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC MEETING OF THE OBESITY SOCIETY in Phoenix, Arizona on October 03 2008 - October 07 2008 and turn in into a swell little hoot'n nanny in manner of the happenings organized by the Act Up and Queer Nation folks back in the '80's.
We can stage fashion shows outside the conference , make signs, have fat aerobics classes and make a hell of a lot of noise.
It's time to stop yapping and it's time to do something because the yapping ain't getting us heard and everyday things get worst.
While we rant, they advertise and lobby and get press.
See where I am going?
If there are any people in the FA movement that are into PR, have extensive contacts in the press etc.. They know what to do.
Meanwhile if anyone is interested in getting this shindig going instead of just talking, hit me up.
Hugs,
MillaX.
