GoTopless Day always falls on the Saturday nearest to August 26, Women’s Equality Day.  Indeed, it is on August 26, 1920 that women earned their right to vote on the basis of gender equality. (ratification of the 19th Amendment of the US Constitution.)  In 1971, the U.S. Congress officially declared August 26, Women’s Equality Day.  

Feminist women fighting for Gender Equality often resort to acting like men in order to be heard.  But today our humanity overpowered by centuries male rule is on the brink of destruction and "acting like men" will only precipite our  fate. Rael Maitreya, founder of GoTopless, declared: "Femininity (regardless of gender) will save humanity."  Feminine civil rights activists place feminine qualities (found in all human beings) such as refinement, kindness, care, compassion, patience, discipline, etc... as the means to accomplish their Equal rights goals.

The purpose of our Gotopless event is two-folds:
(1) to encourage women to stand up for their constitutional topless rights in cities, states and countries where they are still forbidden to do so. (2) and perhaps the most important aspect of our activism is to encourage women to exercise their equal topless right free of shame and guilt. Note that  a hundred years ago, though women had just earned the right to vote, relatively few actually did so because of their conditioning. It took a lot of encouragement for them to feel confortable voting. It is the same process for their topless right. Gotopless however welcomes any woman who would like to support us while choosing to keep their top on.

GoTopless is committed to helping women perceive their breasts as noble, natural parts of their anatomy (whether they are nursing or not). Breasts shouldn't have to be "modestly" or shamefully hidden from public view any more than arms, legs or feet.

GoTopless is also committed to helping men differentiate between nudity and sexuality. If the presence of a topless woman in public triggers a sexual impulse, it can easily be controlled in the same way men control themselves when they see a woman wearing a mini skirt or revealing cleavage. Men manage to appreciate these things while still showing respect! Choosing consciousness above hormones leads to a peaceful, respectful society providing additional freedom and beauty.
