An “emergency” naked bike ride is set to take place in Portland, Oregon, after President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to the city.
Trump deployed the troops last month to quell unrest and to protect “law and order.”The organization behind the naked bike ride is an offshoot of the Portland World Naked Bike Ride, a group that holds naked bike rides in Portland as a form of protest.
“As a longstanding protest, we believe strongly in the power of people, and love that Portlanders use bikes (and sometimes their bodies) to stand up for justice and community,” Portland World Naked Bike Ride said in a statement on Thursday.
The group had said on Wednesday that an “emergency” bike ride was “coming up in response to the militarization of our city.
Trump also said that National Guard troops were already present in the city, though reporting there shed doubt on his claim.
