This past weekend, hundreds of people took part in the “emergency naked bike ride” protest in Portland, Ore. The protest served as a response to President Trump’s plan to send National Guard troops to Portland. While the World Naked Bike Ride is an annual event that is used to demonstrate cyclist safety, body positivity, and freedom from fossil fuel dependence, this demonstration was labeled as an “emergency” to show their protest regarding ICE. People were seen in complete nudity or with signs and sayings written on their bodies such as “No Kings Allowed” and “No one is illegal on stolen land.” Protesters then stopped on the Burnside Bridge in Portland to stage a “die-in.”
