On Halloween about 40 people participated in a festive and joyful dance party in front of DC’s “Zombie News” (aka Fox “News”) building. Several groups and individuals, including Refuse Fascism, had called on people to “Bring Music. Bring Costumes. Bring Energy. We Dance. We Make Noise. We Tell the Truth.” And for about two hours people wearing inflatable costumes, colorful outfits, and made-up faces, along with others holding signs or plastered with Refuse Fascism stickers calling for November 5, gleefully danced to disco music on the sidewalk and the Zombie News plaza. They got a generally favorable and enthusiastic response from passersby in cars and on foot. A fairly large police contingent showed up also, positioning numerous vehicles in the street. But if their intent was to intimidate, it backfired on them—their conspicuous presence drew more attention to the dance party, elevating the raucous enthusiasm of participants.
