“Our goal is for equal gender toplessrights to be enforced worldwide, freeing women’s nipples,” said GoToplessSpokesperson Rachel Jessee, the actress, model and performer who leadsGoTopless in NYC. “In New York, policewill block off streets from Columbus Circle to Dag Hammarsjold Plaza, near the United Nations, to let our GoTopless Pride Paradepass.”
She said New York is the ideal location since it’salready legal for women to go topless there.
“Since 1992, New Yorkhas been one of the world’s few cities to legally recognize women’s toplessrights,” Jessee said. She added that thepast year has helped to further that right elsewhere also. “The movie ‘Free TheNipple’ was released, and actresses and performers like Scout Willis, Rihanna,Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Iggy Azalea, Sarah Silverman, ChelseaHandler,have been baring their nipples publicly in support,” sheexplained,
GoTopless is inviting both men andwomen to “stand up with topless pride” on Sunday, Aug.28 to honor the 96th anniversary of Women’s Equality Day and to supportthe passage of the Equal Rights Amendment.
