‘Emergency’ Naked Bike Ride Plannedโค inโ Portland to Protest Federal Troop Deployment
PORTLAND, Ore. – Organizers are planning anโ impromptuโ “emergency World naked Bike Ride” in Portland to protest Presidentโ Donald Trump‘s decision to federalize 200โค Oregon National Guard troops and โdeploy them to the city. The event was announced via an โขInstagram reel, stating “Plans are being worked on.”
The protest leverages โฃthe established format of nude cycling, a tactic previously employed โby the โขgroup against Big Oil. this actionโ comes as a response to the โขrecent deployment of National Guard troops to Portland, a move criticsโฃ say escalates tensions and represents federal overreach.
The event is being organized by an offshoot of the original โWorld Naked Bike Ride, a group that previouslyโ staged a last-minute ride in 2024 after the original event’s cancellation and has another naked cycling event planned for 2025.The World naked Bike โขRide beganโข as a protest against โdependence on fossil fuels and has โsence evolved intoโ a broader presentation for body positivity and option transportation.
