The lefty moonbats of Portland, Oregon, plan to hike through the forest naked this Friday to protest a Trump administration policy decision.
In June, the Trump administration announced the rescinding of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. Enacted during the Clinton administration, the rule supposedly “protected” 59 million acres of national forest land from logging and road-building.
But according to Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, the only thing the rule protected was forest fires.
After 25 years of failed policy, the Trump Administration is taking action.
Today, at the Western Governors’ Association, I announced our plan to repeal the Roadless Rule — freeing our foresters to manage our forests, protect watersheds, and prevent wildfires. Under @POTUS,… pic.twitter.com/vwUifjc5lr

“This misguided rule prohibits the Forest Service from thinning and cutting trees to prevent wildfires, and when fires start, the rule limits our firefighters’ access to quickly put them out,” she said at a meeting of the Western Governors Association in New Mexico two months ago.
But as usual, leftists just don’t get it…
And so in protest, they intend to hike naked “under the stars” this upcoming Friday for the city’s first-ever “Moon Walk.”
“Join us, on Friday August 22nd (7:00PM-9:30PM), for a unique protest under the new moon to stand against clear-cutting deforestation in Oregon’s precious wild spaces,” an online invitation reads.
“This clothing optional hike combines body positivity with environmental activism, honoring both our natural selves and our natural world,” the ridiculous invitation continues.
The invitation also encourages participants to email their state legislators to pressure them to pass the Roadless Area Conservation Act.
“The Roadless Area Conservation Act (RACA) would protect these critical public lands from the administration’s plans,” the invitation reads. “This legislation would ensure that these intact landscapes continue to provide clean drinking water, shelter fish and wildlife, and offer quiet wild recreation for communities like Bend, Eugene, and Salem.”
“Without protection, these mature and old-growth forests become prime targets for a 25% increase in logging on public lands. When roadless areas are opened to commercial logging, they become fragmented, degraded, and four times more vulnerable to wildfire,” it continues.
The Trump Admin’s decision to undo the Roadless Rule after 25 years undermines critical protections for our public lands. I’ve fought for the Roadless Area Conservation Act to protect Oregon’s natural beauty—this Admin is taking us backward!

Participants are also encouraged to bring signs that say things such as “people should be bare, not forests,” and “bare bodies, lush forests.”
The walk is the brainchild of Make Portland Weirder, which The Oregonian describes as “a new creative collective from married duo Elliot and Emily Thistlebriar, who want to bring whimsy and weirdness to Portland’s public life.”
“We want to encourage people to not just attend a thing and witness this weirdness, but you’re there to be involved and get creative with us,” Elliot told the paper.
“ I think the contrast with this and Keep Portland Weird is the active statement. Don’t just watch what’s happening. Be in it. You’re here. Engage,” he added.
But the weirdo Portlander wasn’t done pontificating.
“When you’re looking to determine the health of the species, … you look for signs of play, because that means they feel safe,” he said. “If you look at humanity, it’s just as true.”
“I think it’s an important factor in hope. So, while it is very important that we do the hard work of the anger, the protests, the making change happen, we also need to make sure we’re taking care of our souls in a way that is joyful and healthy and hopeful,” he concluded.
The walk will reportedly last about 2.5 hours.
“The walk will go from 7 to 9:30 p.m., guided by a large, illuminated moon on a pole,” The Oregonian notes. “Participants should bring a flashlight or headlamp, sturdy shoes, and water. They are asked to remain clothed until passing the Thurman Street bridge.”
