The Body Freedom Collaborative (BFC) was founded in Seattle by Mark Storey and Jacob Gabriel with a mission to advance the integration and acceptance of non-sexual social nudity in a variety of public and private settings. Their vision was a society where individuals are free to enjoy non-sexual social nudity, without fear of harassment or persecution, in a variety of public and private settings. 1Body Freedom Collaborative
