Janelle Monae & Wondaland in SF perform Hell You Talmbout #SayHerName #SayHisName

Janelle Monae and the Wondaland crew joined local #BlackLivesMatter, #BlackTransLivesMatter peeps and families of Bay Area people killed by police at the 24th and Mission BART plaza. It was powerful to hear names from the mouths of family members and cool to see what these folks are doing to combat police brutality. Good turn out and 2 hours of stories and performances led to this.
