Come join us every Sunday for Radical Cheerleading practice! We meet at City Park and Solomon Ave. at 1pm. Make sure you bring some water, and to wear comfortable clothing. Anyone can join the squad at anytime! Also, you don't have to commit to every practice/event either. Just come when you can! :)
Radical cheerleading is a form of cheerleading originating from Florida, but now spread across the United States and to Canada, Europe and beyond. Radical Cheerleading has been around since the mid-to-late 90's. The idea is to use the aesthetics of cheerleading but changing the chants to be promoting feminism and left-wing causes. Radical cheerleaders often perform at demonstrations, partly to bring something fun to what can sometimes be a scary event. They also often perform at feminist and other radical festivals and events. Radical cheerleading is used at demonstrations to promote a radical message in a media- friendly, people-friendly way. It is a form of non-violent activism that uses street theatre as a way to pump up activists and keep a demonstration fun and exciting.
