Rock stares into the camera to say, “Running to the bathroom in your own apartment,” followed by the face of Ramarley Graham, an 18-year-old shot in the Bronx by a police officer in 2012.

Pink, Bono, Janelle Monae, Adam Levine, Common, Queen Latifah, Kevin Hart, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jennifer Hudson and Keys’ husband Swizz Beatz are among the other artists to appear.

Keys and her We Are Here organization call at the end of the video for signatures on a petition demanding President Barack Obama and Congress to work for “radical transformation to heal the long history of systemic racism so that all Americans have the equal right to live and to pursue happiness.”

In a few hours, the online petition had nearly 50,000 signatures.

“When we get 100,000 we’re going to walk that petition directly to the White House,” Keys said. “I’m going to get as many as those 23 as possible.”
