In the summer of 2014, PLUMP, a collective of self-identified fat, queer, femme performers, writers and community members in Austin, Texas, came together to vision, heal and create. Out came Fat: The Play, a performance piece that shares collective members’ experiences with body oppression, racism, misogyny and classism. The powerful, intersectional and ever-evolving work of PLUMP continues to confront systemic and interpersonal fat-hatred by centering the narratives of those who it impacts most.

The future of independent journalism is uncertain, and the consequences of losing it are too grave to ignore. We have hours left to raise the $12,0000 still needed to ensure Truthout remains safe, strong, and free. Every dollar raised goes directly toward the costs of producing news you can trust.
Please give what you can — because by supporting us with a tax-deductible donation, you’re not just preserving a source of news, you’re helping to safeguard what’s left of our democracy.
