moominmuppetHelp buy Body Positive billboards!
More: We are standing up for kids and saying enough is enough! By now you’ve heard of Strong4Life, a campaign by the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta that shames and humiliates fat kids under the guise of promoting health. They have billboards up all over Atlanta, reinforcing a message of shame and stigma every day for those driving by. It’s time to take a stand and support developing healthy habits in kids of all sizes without stigmatizing fat ones.
We are raising funds to put up billboards in high traffic areas around Atlanta with positive messages to counteract the negative Strong4Life campaign.

Fat Kids United -- Totally awesome posters. I really should submit something for this too.
More -- apparently Stand4Kids was taken by an evangelical group, so now it's I Stand Against Weight Bullying

Association For Size-Diversity and Health: Basic Principles of Health At Every Size
HAES Community: HAES Resources

If you'd like to find more general resources, "fatshionista", "HAES", "body-positive", and "fat-positive" are excellent search terms.
