Janelle Monáe Led A Black Lives Matter March And Released A Protest Song

Yesterday in Philadelphia, singer Janelle Monáe led a Black Lives Matter march against police brutality with a little help from rapper Jidenna. Rallying the crowd with mentions of #SayHerName --  the Sandra Bland-inspired social media movement that is trying to get the stories of black women who have suffered from police brutality to the forefront -- there's a Twitter clip of Monae's speech before they started marching.

Earlier today, Janelle and the rest of the Wondaland family also released a powerful protest song called "Hell You Talmabout" which recites the name of every black live lost to police brutality atop a stark drumline. Listen to it below.

Less Wondaland and more Wonder Woman amirite? 

P.S. NYC friends, Jidenna is leading a similar protest until 2 p.m. in Times Square. Hurry on over or tune in on Periscope.
