Kim Kardashian just wrote a passionate letter about the #BlackLivesMatter movement, saying this week's events have left her feeling "speechless, angry and numb."
Mentioning the fatal shootings of both Alton Sterling and Philando Castile on her website, the reality TV star says she was "appalled and completely heartbroken" after watching video of their murders.
"I want my children to grow up knowing that their lives matter. I do not ever want to have to teach my son to be scared of the police," she continues, "or tell him that he has to watch his back because the people we are told to trust -- the people who 'protect and serve' -- may not be protecting and serving him because of the color of his skin."
Kim and husband Kanye West share two children together, North West and Saint.
She then touches on last night's shooting in Dallas, which left five police officers dead and many others injured.
"The last thing we need is to fuel anger with more hate or violence, especially toward the many incredible police officers who risk their lives every single day to protect our families and communities," Kardashian writes. "We must peacefully use the power of our voices and the strength of our numbers to demand changes in the judicial system so that brutality doesn't ever go unpunished."
She then urges her followers to "do something NOW."
"We must speak up until we are heard and real, effective changes are made," she adds, before listing the names of alleged victims of police brutality.
"Hashtags are not enough. This must end now," she says in closing.
Her words echo those made by John Legend, and many other celebs, who also condemned violence against police.
These Dallas shootings are horrific. Killing these officers is morally reprehensible and completely counterproductive to keeping us safe.

Being against cops killing is not equal to being for killing cops. We need peace in our streets.
