‘Radical Brownies’ Forego Girl Scout Cookies In Favor Of Social Justice

Posted by | February 11, 2015 15:00 | Filed under: Politics Top Stories


A Girl Scout group in Oakland, CA would rather spend its time spreading the message of social justice than selling cookies.

“I think it’s very appropriate. A lot of the work the Black Panthers did was community oriented,” Radical Brownies co-founder Marilyn Hollinquest told KPIX 5.

Hollinquest and her friend Anayvette Martinez co-founded the group about a month ago, after Anayvette’s daughter Coatlupe told her she wanted to join a girl’s group.

“How amazing would it be to have a girls’ troop that was really focused around social justice and where girls could even earn badges?” Martinez said.

Their first badge, a fist emblazoned with the words Black Lives Matter. They earned it for marching in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in Oakland last month.
