Janelle Monáe brought out the Mothers of the Movement at the Women’s March on Washington

• Janelle Monáe did not come out alone to speak to those in attendance at the Women’s March on Washington. 
  
• Monáe brought two mothers of those who were killed by police or gun violence  — the Mothers of the Movement — on stage with her. 
  
• On stage, Monáe approached each of the mothers — who also appeared on stage during the Democratic National Convention in July — and asked them to say the name of the child she lost and then asked the crowd to repeat those names. 
  
• Lucy McBath, mother of Jordan Davis, and Gwen Carr, mother of Eric Garner, led the chant alongside Monáe.
  
• “We’re going to say ‘Jordan Davis!’ so he can feel us, and we’re doing this for his mother!” Monáe said to the crowd after Davis’ mother said his name. Read more
