Zendaya spoked out on the Charlottesville violence during her Teen Choice Award acceptance speech.
The incident in Virginia saw demonstrators attacking rally protestors, waving confederate flags, and chanting nazi slogans, resulting in an outrageous and terrifying white-supremacist attack.
Zendaya took home the surfboard for Choice Summer Movie Actress, and delivered a heartfelt speech.
“With all the injustice and the hatred and everything that is happening not only in the world, but in our country right now, I need all you young people, I need all you guys to be educated, I need you to listen, I need you to pay attention.”

“And I need you to go ahead and understand that you have a voice and it is OK to use it when you see something bad happening.
“So make sure that you stay educated and that you do not let people tell you what you think you should feel.
“Because you are the leaders, you’re the future leaders of the world, you’re the future presidents, the future senators, and you guys are the ones who are gonna make this world better.
“So I’m just letting you know, right now, that you are the future, OK? SO take that very, very seriously. Thank you so much and everybody have a beautiful night.”
