Venice Beach to Go Topless on Aug. 26!

Here is a message from the Go Topless Day organizers.

We invite you for a peaceful GoTopless Parade on August 26th in honor of Women’s Equality Day. We claim that women have the same constitutional right that men have to go bare-chested in public. Gender Equality must be respected! Topless freedom for everyone! Come & join us!

Date: Aug. 26, 1-4 p.m. Meeting location (A) – Navy St & the Ocean Front Walk, near parking.

This year, GoTopless Day falls precisely on Women’s Equality Day, Aug 26. It is indeed on Aug 26, 1920 that women earned their right to vote on the basis of Gender Equality. In 1971, the US Congress has made Aug 26 into a nationally recognized date and named it “Women’s Equality Day”. The president of the United States is summoned to commemorate this date each year.

It is only logical that GoTopless Day protests (or celebrations depending on the legal status of your city) would fall on Women’s Equality Day since the right to go topless for women is based on gender equality as their right to vote once was.

On Sunday Aug. 26, people in cities around the world are invited to stand up for women’s right to go topless in public.
