Last month the Radical Brownies boldly toted a “Black Lives Matter” banner at a local protest against police brutality, because as everyone knows, it’s not as if black Americans are around eighty times more likely to be killed by other black Americans than they are by white cops.
The girls all received their first Radical Brownies badge for participating in the “Black Lives Matter” protest—it depicts a raised fist with the slogan BLACK LIVES MATTER. Unlike the Girl Scouts and “real” Brownies, these girls do not receive badges for things such as cooking and sewing, but they can earn badges for “Radical Beauty,” “Food Justice,” and “Radical Self-Love.” Even though the Radical Brownie in question may be a mere eight years old, she can even earn an “LGBT Ally” badge.
