Participating Countries and Cities - Aug 26, 2012
2012 marks GoTopless' fifth anniversary and this year GoTopless day will fall exactly on Women's Equality Day, Aug 26.
Topless rallies will take place in countries around the world. Please see our list of participating cities below and feel free to contact us if you wish to organize an event where you live.
In the US, the main topless rally will take place in Washington DC where we will hand deliver our petition to the US government and ask for an audience with President Obama whose administration must review women's equality issues each Aug. 26. See our article on our news page for more details.
What happens during a Gotopless rally?
During the protests, women will have the choice of going fully topless or wear red tape or something else to hide their (infamous!) nipples. They are also completely welcome to come and support this cause while being fully dressed if they prefer.
To show their support, men are encouraged to wear a bikini top since we are standing up for topless constitutional equality. Either we can all be topless or no one can. Bikinis will be available on location.
The march will end with a speech and entertainment. In cities where it is already legal to go topless, men's bikini top won't be necessary since equality is already in place.
