Dozens of red-cloaked protesters dressed as characters from the dystopian TV series “The Handmaid’s Tale” gathered in lower Manhattan to protest Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday.

Led by the group “RefuseFacism.org”, which recently made headlines in Philadelphia for a similar rally, the handmaids donned red cloaks and white bonnets and kept their heads bowed as they marched to the Alexander Hamilton Customs House where Pence was expected to attend a Department of Homeland Security summit on cybersecurity.

“In the show, you can see the parallels. It’s fiction but it’s not too far off from the world that Mike Pence is trying to bring,” said Emma Kaplan, 31, a protestor from Brooklyn.

“The Handmaid’s Tale” TV series, based on Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel, takes place in a futuristic, totalitarian society where religious groups have overthrown the United States and turned it into the Republic of Gilead. There, some women are forced to become child bearers for infertile couples — and are stripped of all personal freedom.

Pence, a devout Christian who has supported gay conversion therapy and once said women don’t belong in the military, poses a “catastrophic threat to humanity” and is turning the U.S. into a world comparable to the hit series, the organizer’s website states.

“The lesson of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ is that fascism has to be stopped before it’s too late,” Kaplan added.

In a column for Philly.com, the brains behind the protest Samantha Goldman explained why she organized the march and referenced a quote from Atwood’s novel to drive home the point: “Nothing changes instantaneously: in a gradually heating bathtub, you’d be boiled to death before you knew it.”

Goldman spoke to The Post shortly after Tuesday’s march wrapped up and said these protests are an “important part” of RefuseFascism.org’s mission of driving Pence and President Trump out of office.

“They wake people up to the dangers posed by this regime and they help shake off the normalization. And when people see that, they begin to make connections and they learn that there is a movement they can be part of,” the 30-year-old activist said.

She and other organizers hope for an “Arab Spring” like protest here in the U.S. where protestors fight daily to demand Trump and Pence leave office, much like the protests in Egypt, Tunisia and other middle-eastern countries between 2010 and 2014.

Tuesday’s protest was specifically in response to Trump’s now-rescinded family separation policy and the newly created Religious Liberty Task Force announced by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Monday.

Protestors laid out a few dozen children-sized shoes to represent the kids who were taken from their families at the border under Trump’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy.

“This is lifelong trauma. Even if they are reunited, the trauma of that is unbearable. It’s the torturing of children and it’s being done as a way to intimidate and oppress people. That’s fascist,” Kaplan said.

“In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America,” Goldman added.

“We are going to drive you out.”
