Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire Not all cheerleaders perform on the field; some rally at protests. Radical Cheerleaders, an activist group that fights bombs with pompoms, gathered in Boston on Sept. 13, 2003, to protest the World Trade Organization’s fifth annual Ministerial Meeting. At the rally, the group of mostly women cheered, “Hey girl, f— shit up. Revolution and nothing, but we deserve what we need, not table scraps from corporate greed!” Several members of the Radical Cheerleaders were arrested that afternoon for stepping outside the protest area and in front of a police cruiser.
