GoTopless Day always falls at the Sunday closest to 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.

GoTopless Day always falls at the Sunday closest to 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 around 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. 23, people in cities around the world are invited to stand up for women's right to go topless in public.
Last year's was a wonderful experience for everyone, and this year we're hoping to "top" it! :-D
Tentative timeline:
Noon: We'll meet in Civic Center Park for a bring-your-own potluck cold-cut picnic and meet & greet.
2 pm, we'll begin a peaceful parade through the Park and the 16th Street Mall. Last's year's crowd reception was so positive and encouraging!
Contact us if you'd like to be a co-host and/or assist in organizing. Bodypaints will be available, artists welcome!
