“Our boys need us so rather than launching into deep sentiment here on this platform, I promise to find ways to get involved and help,” she said.
Berry encouraged her followers to get involved as well by “reaching out to your local politicians, legislators and government officials.”
As we reported, Beyoncé also released a statement on Thursday in response to the shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. She encouraged fans to “take a stand and demand” that “police stop killing us”, and provided links to get in touch with local politicians.
