DESCRIPTION:This parade is fully permitted by the SFPD. No one will be harassed for 
 being nude. Instead we will have a police escort.\n\nNUDE WOMEN'S DAY 
 PARADE: SUNDAY, MARCH 27 @ 11 AM @ JANE WARNER PLAZA\n\nPlease note that we 
 will need to start an hour earlier than usual, at 11 AM!\n\nDear body 
 freedom lovers!\n\nYou are all invited to a Nude Parade in honor of 
 International Women’s Day on Sunday, March 27th @ 11 AM at Jane Warner 
 Plaza. Parade will go to City Hall down Market St and back.\n\nMEN ARE 
 WELCOME TOO!!! (OF COURSE, SILLY!!!)\n\nPARADE ROUTE: Jane Warner Plaza 
 (Market St and Castro St)- rally, then take Market St to 9th St and Larkin, 
 North on Larkin to McAllister, West on McAllister to Polk St, photo shoot 
 in front of City Hall, down Polk St to Market, back to Jane Warner 
 Plaza\n\nThe purpose of this event – besides the joy of walking down the 
 street naked – is to support women and to help create an environment 
 where women can feel safe nude in public.\n\nWomen are often treated as sex 
 objects and at the same time shamed for wanting sexual freedom. Many men in 
 our society today don’t want to relinquish control over women’s bodies 
 and souls. Many women will shame and attack other women out of ignorance 
 and jealousy. For as long as those attacks are supported by our culture 
 none of us are truly free nor safe.\n\nIn our backward society a naked man 
 is usually perceived as a threat, while a naked woman is perceived as a sex 
 object asking to be raped and disrespected. On top of that women are 
 subjected to an enormous amount of pressure to look “perfect” and to 
 conform to some oppressive totalitarian standards that dictate that every 
 woman be anything but herself.\n\nBody freedom for women involves 
 overcoming the obstacles of social prejudice, fear of judgement, fear of 
 perceived violence and personal self hate. It’s about liberating 
 ourselves from the constricting beliefs that were forced on us from infancy 
 and throughout our lives. But once a woman gets enough courage to get nude 
 in public, if it is done in a positive environment, it is truly liberating. 
 From there on a whole new process of personal liberation can unfold. 
 That’s why it is really important for us as a society to examine issues 
 of body shame, issues of oppression of women, issues of sexual violence. It 
 is important to grow and heal and to ultimately create an environment where 
 a nude woman can be safe in public.\n\nWe invite you all, nude or dressed 
 or anywhere in between to join our nude rally and parade in honor of 
 International Women’s Day.\n\nPlease spread the word!\n\nPost it on your
