“If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be a part of your revolution,” is a quote often attributed to Emma Goldman, a turn-of-the-century feminist and radical from Russia.

The group WERK For Peace, formed by Firas Nasr in the aftermath of the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando over the summer, strongly believes that the resistance needs people to shake and shimmy—staging protests in front of the Capitol, Vice President Mike Pence’s rental home in Chevy Chase, the Trump International Hotel, and the White House.

While WERK for Peace has compelled hundreds of demonstrators to bring their rainbow suspenders and dancing shoes out for causes like gun control, Pence’s anti-LGBT legislative record, and the roll back of protections for transgender students under the Trump administration, this is the first time they’ll be focusing on climate change.

“It’s time to WERK for Mother Earth,” reads the event page for Saturday’s protest targeting Ivanka Trump and bringing the ruckus to her Kalorama neighborhood, which is also the home of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and the Obama family.

The protest comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday that will jumpstart the process of withdrawing and changing the Clean Power Plan, an Obama-era policy that helps the U.S. meet its obligations under the Paris climate accord.

They also plan to draw attention to a Monday executive order that revokes an Obama order banning federal contractors from discriminating against employees on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, as well as the new administration’s decision not to include questions about those categories in the 2020 census.

The dance party is “a creative and powerful way for us to demonstrate how Ivanka is not some hero for liberals on the inside,” says 350 DC organizer Anthony Torres. “If she wants to be a so-called friend of the environment and friend of the gays, she can come dance with us.”

Saturday’s protest marks the first collaboration between 350 DC, a climate justice group, and WERK For Peace, which is also organizing alongside the Trans Women of Color Collective. The idea is that queer and trans folk “are already pushed to the margins,” says Torres. “When you add in the stresses of the climate crisis—drought, sea level rise, growing food insecurity, and conflict—it puts queer and trans people at greater and greater risk.”

He says using dance as protest draws in new people to “express their rage in a confrontational and creative manner. I love to dance whenever I get the chance to, and that’s why I’m so excited for Saturday: to have some fun, and to bring this fight to Ivanka’s doorstep.”

The president’s daughter and her husband, Jared Kushner, both of whom have powerful roles in the White House, have been described by The New York Times as “the two most influential social liberals in President Trump’s inner circle,” but Torres isn’t buying it.

“People try and paint Ivanka and her husband as allies of our movement,” he says. “No. It is this false hope in believing that there must be a sensible voice inside [the administration], when the reality is they are all committed to this agenda of hate.”

With that in mind, planners hope to show up on Tillerson’s doorstep as well. While the Obamas are not the targets, ” if Sasha or Malia [Obama] show up at our dance protest, we would welcome them.”

Kalorama neighbors are also invited to participate, as many Chevy Chase dwellers did during the Pence protest.

Those neighbors have expressed frustration in the past week over the inconveniences and extensive Secret Service presence that the Trump-Kushner family has brought to their small street. “It has been a three-ring circus from the day that they’ve moved in,” across-the-street resident Marietta Robinson told The AP. “They’ve completely ruined the neighborhood.”

“It is a very well-to-do neighborhood but of course we would welcome anyone who would like to join in our massive dance party,” Torres says. “And hope they are encouraged to take part and leverage their privilege towards justice for those who are targeted.”

The protest begins on Saturday, April 1 at 6 p.m. at Dupont Circle, and protesters will march to Kalorama. More information here.
