Portland Organizers Plan 'Emergency' Naked Bike Ride to Protest National Guard Deployment
(Portland, OR) -- Organizers of the World Naked Bike Ride are planning an "emergency ride" this Sunday in response to President Trump's push to deploy National Guard troops to Portland. The protest is scheduled for October 12 at 2:30 p.m., with the starting location to be announced Friday. Organizers say the ride is meant to oppose what they call the "militarization of the city." Portland has a long tradition of using nude rides as protest, and organizers note that Oregon law allows for nudity in political demonstrations.
