then and that was the f'en 80's. Things have gotten far darker since.
(Rudy really helped transform an hassle to oppression in the 90s)

This is not just a listing. It is a call to action for anyone who
values the depth and culture this city offers. If you have
ever danced went to a show, club, hell..tapped your foot,
go out and support this. It is a cry for all of our rights.

Celebrate the right of women to go topless, and protest the unlawful arrest of women who do so. Whether you choose to bike or blade, do it topless -- and demonstrate everyone's right to bare their chest.

This event is happening in part as a response to the recent arrest of a New York woman who was arrested and jailed for refusing to put on a shirt. Please let everyone know and encourage all to attend so we can collectively heighten the awareness that it is a man's as well as a woman's right to bare her chest in NYC. If you will: Bring permanent markers so we can write on our bodies the law (penal code 245.1). The cops are obviously unaware that the right for a woman to go topless in NYC was recently passed and need to be schooled by us this Sunday.
