What’s Going On With the Left Coast?

Recent events in Washington and Oregon, but especially in California, have created as many questions as answers. NAC has sued the CA Parks Dept. for its handling of San Onofre State Beach, but has asked naturists to write letters of thanks and appreciation to CA Parks superintendents concerning their handling of the American River and Auburn State Recreational Area. And now, the Governor has suggested that large numbers of state parks simply be closed. What’s going on there? What can it mean for naturists in other locations?

Why Should Naturists Care When Lawmakers Target “Adult” Businesses?

State lawmakers across the US are looking for quick revenue by taxing sexually-orinted businesses. Do these “pole taxes” affect naturists? Are efforts to prevent minors from performing in strip clubs anything about which naturists should care? If we engage on such issues, how do we do so intelligently?

Please Don’t Call It “Sexting.”

Because they can, teens are sending pictures to one another on their cell phones. State, local and school authorities are considering many images of bare flesh to be “lewd,” even if naturists might call them mere nudity. It’s led to absurdities, as in the case of a 14-year-old girl who sent pictures of herself and was named as both purveyor and victim of child pornography. Lawmakers have jumped in to “fix” the problem. What should naturists do?

The Impact of Economic Recession On Naturism

Even though naturists prefer outfits without pockets, we’re not immune to the same pocket pinch that others are feeling. It’s no secret that the economy is affecting naturist organizations. It’s also affecting the generous donations that are so necessary for the vigorous defense of the rights and interests of naturists. But it goes even further than that, impacting where we’re able to visit, how we’ll get there, and what will be there for us when we arrive. Believe it or not, there’s some good from all of this, too.

Who Speaks For Naturists?

At a time in which organized nudism shunned free beaches, The Naturist Society established itself as a strong voice for naturists. Working as adjuncts to TNS, the Naturist Action Committee and the Naturist Education Foundation have implemented important natural extensions of that original advocacy through focused activism. Meanwhile, other organizations have attempted to turn their attention outward to include issues and locations beyond their cloistered origins. Who speaks for naturists?
