There will be a meeting at Mikey's Gyros, downtown Moscow, 7pm tonight (wed,
8/14) Come help overturn the sexist nudity ordinance. Bring a friend.
On July 15th, Moscow’s City Council approved Ordinance 2002-13, the nudity
ordinance. The ordinance, as written, makes it illegal for a woman to bare
her breasts in public view. This means her private property, including her
home, if it is open to public view. It also makes it illegal for women to
wear certain bikinis and attire in public.
The fine is up to $500 or 6 months in prison.
MER believes the ordinance is sexist and unconstitutional and suppresses the
rights of women in order to prevent another person from feeling a certain
way.
MER is committed to upholding the 14th amendment's guarantee of equal
protection under the law for all citizens.
MER has started a petition drive to put the ordinance to a public vote.
