“GoTopless Day” for 2016 will fall on Sunday Aug. 28. GoTopless Day always falls at the Sunday closest to Women’s Equality Day which is August 26. It was on August 26, 1920 that women earned their right to vote on the basis of Gender Equality. In 1971, the US Congress has made August 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. So it’s a REAL THING, not one of those made up days to sell Hallmark cards.
Some citizens will risk baring it all on Go Topless Day, which returns on Sunday, August 28. It's summer, you might as well #freethenipple while it's still warm out.
The national annual event takes issue with cities that enforce laws against women exposing their nipples, but have no problem when men do the same.
This year’s protest falls just two days after Women’s Equality Day, which commemorates the anniversary of when women earned the right to vote. To join the event, head to North Avenue Beach just north of the boathouse at 1pm on Sunday.
Despite the strong political tone, the event will be more of a celebration. As long as you wear an “opaque covering” on your nipples you shouldn’t have too much trouble. Perhaps you'll opt for glittery nipple tassels or colorful body paint? Either way, don’t forget your sunscreen, ladies.
