Hillary Clinton’s ubiquitous, colorful pantsuits have become emblematic of the 2016 presidential campaign, as instantly identifiable in their own way as Donald Trump’s swoop of flaxen hair. On Sunday, some enthusiastic Clinton supporters were inspired to don pantsuits of their own in every possible hue and participate in a flashmob at New York’s Union Square, dancing joyously to “Can’t Stop This Feeling,” a bubbly Justin Timberlake track from the soundtrack of the upcoming animated film Trolls. Crishon Johnson, who helped organize and choreograph the event, described the flashmob on Facebook as a way to “combine art with a bit activism at a fun dance event.” It was intended as both a show of support for Clinton and a rebuke of Trump. “Now is the time to stand up against this bully,” Johnson wrote. “Action here is a stand against racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, injustice and so much more.”
Footage of the flashmob was also posted to Instagram.
