Andrew Martinez Biography
Andrew Martinez is one of the most popular and richest Activist who was born on November 15, 1972 in California, California, United States. Famous for his nude protests while a student at the University of California-Berkeley, Martinez, a.k.a. “The Naked Guy,” fought for the right to appear naked in public both on and off the Berkeley campus. Incarcerated and suffering from mental illness, he tragically committed suicide in his early thirties.
He and sex education advocate and fellow activist Laci Green both attended the University of California, Berkeley.
Martinez wrote a 1992 guest column in the Oakland Tribune: “When I walk around nude, I am acting how I think it is reasonable to act, not how middle-class values tell me I should act. I am refusing to hide my dissent in normalcy even though it is very easy to do so.” Martinez, who typically attended classes wearing only sandals and a backpack, became a cause célèbre at the university for a while, participating in a number of nude events on campus and performances by the Bay Area nude performance group the X-Plicit Players. He appeared on national talk shows, was profiled in a photo essay in Playgirl and was parodied in the 1994 college comedy PCU. As a response to Martinez’s actions, UC Berkeley issued its “Policy Statement Concerning Public Nudity and Sexually Offensive Conduct” banning public nudity on December 7, 1992.
Martinez attended classes at the University of California, Berkeley. In September 1992, his second year in college, he began appearing naked in public and led a campus “nude-in” to protest social repression. Campus police first arrested him that fall for indecent exposure when he jogged naked near southside dormitories late on a Saturday night. The county prosecutor refused to prosecute, concluding that nudity without lewd behavior was not illegal. Martinez began strolling around campus naked, citing philosophical reasons. He explained that when he dressed in expensive, uncomfortable, stylish, “appropriate” attire, he hid the fact that his personal belief was that clothes were useless in his environment except as a tool for class and gender differentiation. The university then banned nudity on campus.
The son of Esther Krenn, he was born and raised in Santa Clara County, California.

The last time Martinez’s mother saw her son was three weeks before his death when she visited him in jail. “He was sad. He was tired.
