World Naked Bike Ride. We need it in NYC!
“We let Willow cut her hair. When you have a little girl, it’s like how can you teach her that you’re in control of her body? If I teach her that I’m in charge of whether or not she can touch her hair, she’s going to replace me with some other man when she goes out in the world. She can’t cut my hair but that’s her hair. She has got to have command of her body. So when she goes out into the world, she’s going out with a command that is hers. She is used to making those decisions herself. We try to keep giving them those decisions until they can hold the full weight of their lives.”

Good thing the city issues 3 times as many tickets to cyclists as truck drivers. Obviously cyclists are the real menace. (Taken with instagram)

New York, NY (June 9th, 2012) –Saturday, June 9th, Time’s Up!, a direct action environmental group,will call attention to the need for free autonomous bodies, safe from interference from the state, cars, police or the moralists.
“From mandatory transvaginal ultrasounds to stop and frisk policing to the hyper restrictions on our right to gather together in public space, our bodies have been under assault,” declares Times Up! volunteer Ellen Levin. “Fight back and have some fun with body autonomy.”
“Clinic defense in the morning and support for the World Naked Bike ride in the afternoon, June 9th will be a day to celebrate liberation of our bodies and minds,” notes Times Up! volunteer Benjamin Shepard.
A joyous and liberating protest aimed at reducing the dangers posed to our world and our bodies by automobiles and oil dependence! The ride takes place in solidarity with the World Naked Bike Ride, in its 10th year internationally, with rides happening across the Northern Hemisphere on this date. While the ride is clothing optional, many will be clothed yet still ready to celebrate body autonomy in any way they see fit. Feel free to come as dressed or bare as you dare. Creative costuming is also highly encouraged. Body painting and bike decoration will start at 5:30 PM, with the ride departing no later than 6:30pm. Activists will provide a know your rights training and teach-inn on consent. Be sure to bring lights, bells, a sense of humor , a positive attitude, and respect for all riders.
The ride is endorsed by the OWS Bike Coalition.
“The cops ripped off my clothes, that’s why I’m riding naked,” declares Cara of the OWS bike coalition, who will join the ride.
“I can’t afford clothes,” notes Audrey Hephburn of the OWS Bike Coalition. “We’ve got nothing to hide. Come and stop and frisk us.”
The body autonomy ride is established to critique the over policing of public space and the social imagination. Riders are encouraged to participate in the June 17th March to End Stop and Frisk action as well as the drag march on June 22.
Reclaim your body! Reclaim your streets! Reclaim your planet! Ride your bike! The Body Autonomy Ride is a safer space for all bodies to ride free of harassment or pollutants in the physical or mental environment. To participate each rider is asked to respect that the liberation of bodies requires freedom, autonomy, and justice for all. This begins with joy and commitment to self determination for all.
TIMES UP! is a non-profit environmental group that has been using educational outreach and direct action for the last 25 years to promote a more sustainable, less toxic city.
