DESCRIPTION:SUNDAY, APRIL 3RD @ 10 AM @ JANE WARNER PLAZA, San Francisco\n\nPlease note 
 that we will need to start 2 hours earlier than usual, at 10 AM! The march 
 begins at 11 am SHARP!\n\nDear body freedom lovers!\n\nWe just got a permit 
 from the SFPD for our Nude Women’s Day Parade this coming Sunday April 
 3rd. Please come at 10 am to give yourself enough time to get ready, 
 socialize and take pictures. We will start the march at 11 am sharp! Our 
 permit is only 2 and 1/2 hours long so we need to stay organized.\n\nYou 
 are all invited to a Nude Parade in honor of International Women’s Day on 
 Sunday, April 3rd @ 10 AM  AM at Jane Warner Plaza. Parade will go to City 
 Hall down Market St and back.\n\nALL ARE WELCOME (women, men and everybody 
 in between) \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 Facebook
