No Sweats for Berkeley; UC Students Protest - Naked!

Omid- The sense of activism among UC Berkeley students has always impressed me. As a journalist and a social activist, I am really interested in diffrent methods that activists use to mobilize poeple, students, and the media to magnify their message. The naked protests in Berkeley to enforce labor rights are examples of this. In general, the argument is very controversial... nevertheless, I like the way in which they try to advocate for a humanitarian purpose. I wish I could write more on this topic, but let's watch what these students have to say and look at what they believe in....Good Job!

Didn't you already post this? Berkeley students seem lost protesting nonproblems when a war is going on.
 
no there were 3 protests here in the past couple of weeks. This is the latest one.

I agree, there are many more important issues they could be protesting against (or getting naked for!)
 
it is the latest protest, April 28.....good job!
 
Good job! I thought they are going to become fully naked though!
 
yeah thats what I thought too! maybe next time!
 
i didn't see one naked person.
 
its better that way, i saw them naked last week and most of them hadn't shaved anything for a few years it seemed. this is more tastefuuuul
 
عموم مردم ایران دنبال رفرم مرده نیستند و تغببر رژیم را دنبال میکنند
 
Later in that protest, I believe about 15 - 20 students ended up rushing into the Califonria Hall and sat in outside the office of the Chancellor (who was apparently away). Students continued to protest outside the hall and several did indeed get fully naked. The students were given citations and released. The rally lasted for quite a few hours (and it went on through the rain as well).
 
Iranians like any thing NAKED

Preverts!
 
WELL IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THE KIDS STILL FEEL ALIVE AND PROTESTING ISN'T OUT OF FASHION. DON'T CATCH A COLD KIDS!
 
Thanks Omid... this video is great and all of SOJA will keep it as a documentary to remember this campaign. We won by the way. President Dynes and the Chancellors decided on May 3rd to adopt the policy, and the statement is out. Thanks for the encouragement.

Why didn't men and women treated equally in this video the piece?

Watching the video--as it is now--is a little bit disturbing for me because it doesn't pay equal attention to both male and female members of the group. It seems it has more emphasis on the naked women. It only interviews the female members and only shows the women's naked close-up photos at the end.

Showing naked women is fine to me as far as the video is porn, voyeurism, or is about a subjet related to women's sexuality. For this subject I wish you had made it differently.
 
Well, the main speaker was a woman, she was the leader of the group, and obviously wanted to answer the questions. There were only a couple of guys anyway. The students who put this on KNEW that the word "naked" coupled with "protest" would give them attention. Of course it's not anything like porn or voyeurism, but maybe you shouldn't speak for them when their actions are the opposite of what you argue.
 
Well done!
