“And I am personally overcome with gratitude for all the incredible artists and talent who showed up in both Los Angeles and Miami to perform, answer phones or lend their services,” she added. “While there is still much to do, we are deeply grateful for all that’s been done. We are, and will continue to be, one voice.”
