Naked Protest

[mark worden]

Think Doukhobor
or Freedomite
"A small group of zealots called the Sons of Freedom marched nude in 1902 to
protest against the materialism of their brethren. They also set fire to
farm equipment owned by fellow Doukhobors. Yet the majority of Spirit
Wrestlers both denounced the zealots and also refused to register for their
own property."

Many nude protests since then.  In the 30's over 900 people were arrested in
British Columbia for nude protests and sentenced to 3 yesars imprisonment.

their bras.

"Animal activists go 'naked' to protest against fur trade."  I supposed it
makes some sense there--they don't want to wear fur.
