People with obesity deserve equal protection in drug safety. New research presented today at #ObesityWeek2025 show that: ➡️ 86% said the FDA should require obesity-specific testing before drug approval. ➡️ 88% reported feeling angry about this gap in oversight. ➡️ 99% agreed that manufacturers must update labels when obesity alters drug response. This isn’t a niche issue—it’s a public health gap. Read more: bit.ly/47o1iOh #ObesityCare #FDA #HealthEquity #OAC

Weight bias is everywhere and it causes real harm. We’re taking a stand to build a world where everyone is treated with respect, dignity and fairness. That means speaking up, learning more, showing compassion and pushing for real change. Take the Pledge. stopweightbias.com/be-part-of-the…

@ObesityAction The OAC is showing up to share facts and challenge the weight bias that still shows up in headlines, photos and soundbites. Learn more about weight bias in media: stopweightbias.com/weight-bias/we…

The media doesn’t just report stories — it shapes them. Too often, that means reinforcing harmful weight stereotypes. That’s why @ObesityAction is proud to exhibit for the Stop Weight Bias campaign at AHCJ Health Journalism 2025 in LA, May 29–June 1. bit.ly/3ZFl3fR

Did you know some medications, like Rexulti, are commonly prescribed to people with obesity—but weren’t properly tested on them? This isn’t just an oversight. It’s a dangerous form of weight bias. People with obesity deserve safe, effective treatment. bit.ly/4ixCje0

Thank you so much for your continued support and for standing with us to end weight bias! #StopWeightBias

It’s #PatientExperienceWeek—a time to celebrate respectful, inclusive care. But for many, especially people with obesity, healthcare doesn’t feel safe. 1 in 5 adults face weight bias from providers. Let’s do better: bit.ly/4jFvOa4

Weight doesn’t define worth—but bias at work says otherwise. People with higher weight face fewer opportunities, lower pay, and no federal protections. It’s time to end weight discrimination. Join the movement to #StopWeightBias: bit.ly/4joaTaQ

During Jamfest at the Final Four, Charles Barkley mocked women in San Antonio—once again using his platform to make harmful comments about body size. Send a message to his agents, TNT, and the NCAA. Let them know this behavior isn’t okay: bit.ly/43KqyNi

Charles Barkley has once again insulted the women of San Antonio. It’s not funny. It’s weight bias, and it’s harmful. “When Barkley bashes the ‘fat’ women of San Antonio... he’s bashing all the women in San Antonio.” – Abby Lentz bit.ly/42mo7hr
