Emergency NAKED Bike Ride Planned in Portland After Troop Deployment

Portland organizers are planning an “emergency” World Naked Bike Ride in response to the federal government’s decision to deploy National Guard troops to the city.

⚡ About 200 soldiers are preparing at Camp Rilea as legal challenges from Oregon officials—including Governor Tina Kotek and Attorney General Dan Rayfield—seek to block the deployment.

🚲 The Naked Bike Ride, already a long-standing Portland tradition, is being framed as both a protest against militarization and a show of the city’s unique activist culture.
