Protesters outraged over Beyonce's Super Bowl 50 halftime performance will be descending upon NFL headquarters next week.

The "Formation" singer has been accused by FOX News and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, among others, for using her performance as a platform to "attack police officers."

Beyonce's dancers donned leather, afros, and black berets similar to those of the Black Panthers, a revolutionary black nationalist and socialist organization founded 50 years ago in Oakland, Calif.

The protest is scheduled to take place from 8-4 p.m. at the NFL's Manhattan headquarters on Feb. 16, the same day tickets for Beyonce's world tour go on sale.

"Are you offended as an American that Beyonce pulled her race-baiting stunt at the Superbowl?" the event description reads. "Do you agree that it was a slap in the face to law enforcement? Do you agree that the Black Panthers was/is a hate group which should not be glorified? Come and let's stand together. Let's tell the NFL we don't want hate speech & racism at the Superbowl ever again!"

The New York Daily News and Rolling Stone have both reached out to the event's organizer for comment, but have not received a response.
