Beyoncé has released a powerful statement regarding the fatal police shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.
On Thursday afternoon, Bey posted her response to the deaths of the two black men killed by police this week via her website and encouraged fans to “take a stand and demand” that “police stop killing us.”
“This is a human fight.”
In addition to the written statement, Beyoncé posted a call to action on Instagram:

Bey also directed followers to a link where they can contact their respective Congressman or woman to demand action, and links for more information on how to demand justice for Alton Sterling, Philando Castile and black victims of police brutality across the country.
