Protesters Are Bringing A Queer Dance Party To Stephen Miller's Home
Expect salsa and dabke dancing alongside some twerking in front of White House Senior Adviser Stephen Miller’s apartment complex on Wednesday evening.
The activist group WERK for Peace is planning to protest the president’s aide outside CityCenterDC for his role in shaping the administration’s immigration policy. The group, formed in the wake of the 2016 Pulse nightclub massacre in Orlando, has since staged boisterous demonstrations outside the homes of Vice President Mike Pence and White House advisers Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. This protest comes as the group is launching a campaign called #WERKNotWalls, which focuses on the treatment of migrants and refugees at the U.S. border.
Stephen Miller is “the architect behind the Muslim Ban and the architect behind the response to the migrant and refugee caravan that is currently making its way to the U.S./Mexico border,” says Firas Nasr, the founding organizer of WERK for Peace. “We wanted to shed light on him and on the Trump administration’s egregious response to the migrant and refugee caravan. What better way to do it than to bring a whole crowd of people dancing to Arabic music and Spanish music to him?”
The protest will begin at the north side of the White House at 5:30 p.m. and participants will march towards Miller’s luxury D.C. apartment complex, which was also the site of a protest in June. Activists chanted and passed out signs calling him a “white nationalist, Trump lackey, and architect of both the Muslim Ban and Family Separation.” Miller was out of town at the time.
