In response to President Trump’s announcement that he will deploy 200 National Guard troops in Portland to combat “domestic terrorists,” organizers of the World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) have planned an emergency naked bike ride event in protest.

In its announcement Wednesday, WNBR posted to Instagram, stating, “Emergency [WNBR] is being planned in response to the military being deployed in our city … Plans are being worked on.”

The naked bike ride in Portland has been previously used as a format to protest against fossil-fuel-dependent transportation and bring awareness to the vulnerability of cyclists on roadways.
