A new organization called Gotopless.org has emerged with a gotopless day. Gottopless.org is encouraging Men and Women of all ages to rally in a peacefull protest against sexual inequality. There are several events arranged for different cities, however the organization would like this to be a National event and encourages interested individuals to contact them.
To add some more interest to this story, apparently the event organizers have sent letters to both John McCain's wife as well as the Wife of Barrack Obama. Personally, I am hoping John McCain's daughter Meghan McCain jumps into the cause.
Here is some information from the gotopless.org website.
Gotopless.org claims constitutional equality between men and women on being topless in public. Currently, women who dare to be topless in public in the US are repeatedly being arrested, fined, humiliated, criminalized. On Aug 23rd, 2008, topless women will rally in great numbers across the USA to protest this gross inequality in the law and will demand that they be granted the fundamental right to be topless where men already enjoy that right according to the 14th amendment of the Constitution.
Across America, topless women and men will peacefully rally in the streets, parks, on the beaches of their towns and cities. Activities will start at NOON local time in each city
Topfree performances will be given by various artists to honor Women's Equalitly Day and to convey how natural it is to be topfree for women in public just like it is for men.
