R&B stars Janelle Monáe and Jidenna joined with activists and residents for a Black Lives Matter movement march on Wednesday. Footage of the Wondaland representatives speaking with the people in Philadelphia has hit the internet.

“They say a question lives forever until it gets the answer it deserves,” Janelle told the crowd. “Won’t you say their names? Can we say their names right now? Will we speak their names as long as we have breath in our bodies?”

They also released a new song to go along with the movement called “Hell You Talmout.”
