A HIPPO IN A TUTU AND A MAGA HAT PICKETED THE EVENT

 QUEER DANCE PARTY FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE 
AT IVANKA TRUMP'S HOUSE
Activist group WERK for Peace organized the latest in a series of dance actions bringing an LGBT twist to hot political issues. Our protests are like no other – hip-shaking, fist-pumping, ass-twerking, head-thumping dancing! ...We’ve protested around a number of intersectional issues, including ... climate justice... covering the streets with biodegradable confetti...



Saturday’s display of intersectional activism involved a march on Ivanka’s recently-acquired DC residence ... protesting Trump’s recent reversal of key Obama-era policies on carbon emissions and clean power production. Dancers made their way through the streets to Ivanka’s home... “Ivanka, come dance,” chanted the jubilant crowd, as several of her neighbors came out to watch the party, some with wine glasses in hand. 

When Ivanka did not join to dance the event’s organizer proclaimed by megaphone into the night : “It looks like Ivanka doesn’t really care about the queer or trans community, does she?  What about climate justice?” 
To which the crowd replied by chanting: “Complicit!”
