Recently, I made contact over at Flickr with a frusturated naturist living in San Diego, Ca, who vented about that cities' current intolerance towards public nudity of any kind. It is something that has gotten me a bit curious as once upon a time everyone in the rest of the country looked to southern California as a model in progressive liberalism. Anyway, so now I have become interested in the plight of Sarah Bush, a 20 year old college student who is fighting the city over the right to be naked in public. Sarah simply wants San Diego to allow a naked WNBR to take place just as it does in San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, etc. Here is an article that goes into a bit more detail:

Sarah desperately needs support. Here we have a young woman who has seen rides elsewhere, has ridden herself in San Francisco, and who is angry enough to take on an entire city. Her city. Her once liberal turned ultra conservative city. I know we can't do much to help her, but I thought I would post this anyway so that at least we are aware of what is going on.
My fear is that San Diego's conservatism will eventually move north to Portland and Seattle. Here, at least, is some hope that a counter movement to make San Diego MORE LIKE Portland and Seattle is afoot. So get to know about Sarah Bush and her efforts - I think that just about everyone here would consider them to be heroic.
