If we did the thing I talked about awhile ago, where we pick a spot & stand and ask passersby if they think we look fat, what kind of prep would that require? I seriously have no idea, but I'd like to try it.
The idea is pretty simple - get a bunch of people together, give them little informational flyers, and have them canvas an outdoor public space asking people if they (the actors/activists) look fat. Gauge reactions, engage people in discussion.

I think dancing and teaching dance are acts of defiance as-is. But I wonder if Richmond could support its own Big Moves-style organization?
That I have a better idea how to start, because, well - I've already started dance and theatre groups before.

Why aren't there local(ish) chapters of size-activist orgs? Why are the local chapters of national feminist orgs so quiet?
