Beyonce is joining her voice to that of other celebrities calling for justice following the murder of George Floyd. The queen shared a call to action on her Instagram page, addressing the death of the innocent black man. She talked about how we need to make sure Americans don’t normalize the pain of these losses, despite them being so prevalent. Beyonce as well cleared that her message is not just limited to people of color but everyone.

“No more senseless killings of human beings,” Bey said. “George is all our family in humanity. He’s our family because he is a fellow American.”

In the caption of the video posted on her Instagram page and in the video itself, the Irreplaceable singer pleaded with her followers to sign the change.org petition that was set up to seek justice for Floyd. “If you want to demand more charges brought on all those involved in the death of George Floyd, click the link in my bio to sign the petition,” Beyonce wrote on the caption.

The petition seeking justice for Floyd, moreover, is meant for Mayor Jacob Frey and DA Mike Freeman, as citizens call for all the four officials involved in George Floyd’s murder to be charged and fired immediately.

Although former Minnesota officer Derek Chauvin was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter on Friday, the three other officers have not been arrested or charged.
