Part 2: Chico Breast Liberation
- Chico Breast Liberation founders Meagan Fischer and Rain Aliza Scher discuss their paradigm-shifting, grassroots work building respectful culture through events like last month’s 'Toptional Bike Ride'. Chico Breast Liberation is an organization of members of the Chico community, uniting to support the normalization of women’s and all people's freedom to be bare-chested in public. They celebrate breasts as beautiful and sacred, not offensive. They desire a safe, consensual, and accepting environment in which their healthy attitude towards breasts and bodies as a whole is supported and respected-- and they organize events around this cause.
