Interesting how no one even asked what the OP specifically does in terms of volunteering. I would think that would be one of the first things you would want to ask if someone says "I volunteer with BLM". It's not like the OP said "can I put down I attend BLM rallies on my medical school apps"...
OP - I don't think you shouldn't put it down on your app, but I think you should continue to work with them if reforming policing culture in the US and use of excessive force is something you are passionate about. Think about it this way: it may rub adcoms the wrong way if they see/know it, but that doesn't mean you can't keep it in your back pocket and continue to work on the causes outside of your medical education.
