Description: Climate change protesters rallied on Earth Day outside the D.C. mayor's office and performed a tribal dance complete with masks, large figurines, and smoke grenades.

Radical eco-activists held a masked dance outside of the Washington, DC, mayor’s office on Friday as part of an Earth Day protest.

The dance appeared to draw on elements of animism, which is a form of paganism, through the activists’ use of animal masks.

A protester was also arrested during the demonstration for unfurling a banner that read “No New Fossil Fuels” over the entrance of the mayor’s office.

The demonstration was organized by the left-wing eco-activist group Extinction Rebellion to demand that D.C. officials end their use of fossil fuels.
