Naked Protesters & Nude Activists:

Looks like a sit-in, and these look more like protester gags than any sort of bondage game. Unfortunately this is one of those pictures that comes without any context:

Pretty girls with their mouths taped shut — what’s not to like?

Here are some bicyclists in New Zealand who disapprove of oil companies and their customers:

Police ordered naked cyclists to get their gear back on in Auckland yesterday, after arresting their leader for alleged indecent exposure.

Even so, motorists were treated to a “21-bum” salute, equating to the number of scantily-clad but helmeted cyclists who rode from Symonds St to Karangahape Rd to protest against the world’s dependency on oil-fuelled transport.

Thanks to Dr. Menlo for the link.

This apparently has something to do with protest against the Austrian government:

Here’s a picture taken from this report of the June 2003 anti-WTO protests:

Caption: “Naked protesters in Sacramento don mud to appeal to the
gentler side of the police and those the police served at WTO.”

Not naked, not necessarily a protest, but Bondage Blog has a nice photo of a woman getting arrested by the riot police.

I don’t know much about these protest photographs, except that they feature more and prettier public nudity than is usual for the genre. They come from here, are dated July 22, 2004, and include the limited explanation that the protest took place in “Ashland” (Oregon?) “against antigentalia law”. Anybody have more details, or more photos?

Here are some more and much better pictures from this event:

Yum!

A lot more photos from the World Naked Bike Ride (June 12, 2004) can be found here. A sample:

No nudity here, but a cute tape gag on a protester:

Thanks to the Bondage Blog for the pic.

And hunky boys too:

From this gallery of almost 50 semi-naked PETA protest images.

Apparently the nude parade down Telegraph isn’t all that common. Here’s an account of a September 19 “How Berkeley Can You Be?” parade that includes this naked sentiment:

The Daily Californian reports on a September 26 naked parade in Berkeley, that looked sorta like this:

Here’s what was up:

Eight local activists displayed their lighter sides yesterday, marching in the nude down Telegraph Avenue to express their distaste for the current presidential administration.

The 13th annual “Nude and Breast Freedom Parade,” organized by the X-plicit Players of Berkeley, marched under the theme “Get Your Bush Out to Get Bush Out.”

Led by activist and Berkeley resident Debbie Moore, the eight members present for the parade walked down Telegraph, staying mostly between Dwight Way and Haste Street, singing and marching in their birthday suits in the name of peace and human connection.
