In a joint statement, the trio emphasized the importance of unity and action:
“This crisis is a stark reminder of how vulnerable we are to the forces of nature, but also of how powerful we can be when we come together. We stand with the people of Southern California and hope this contribution brings relief and hope to those who need it most.”
