Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony were already doing their part to help with the Hurricane Maria relief effort in Puerto Rico and now they’re launching a humanitarian relief initiative in hopes that others will get involved.
The two singers, who used to be married, announced the Somos Una Voz (We’re One Voice) alliance on Wednesday, which already has the support of other major celebrities in addition to the two of them, according to E! News.

Alex Rodriguez, Bruno Mars, Daddy Yankee, Ed Sheeran, Edward Norton, Fat Joe, Jada Pinkett Smith, Pitbull, Ricky Martin, Paul Simon, Vin Diesel and many more have joined the alliance that will seek to restore the Caribbean island ravaged by Hurricanes Maria and Irma in the past few weeks.
Lopez got things started on Sunday when she announced a $1 million donation to the relief effort for the U.S. territory.
“What’s foremost in my mind and many others, is trying to figure out the best way to help,” Lopez said. “Our island of Puerto Rico has been hit by the two most devastating hurricanes we’ve ever seen Irma and Maria. Today, Puerto Rico needs our help. I urge you to support and donate to the efforts of the first lady of Puerto Rico, Beatriz Rosselló. Together we can help rebuild our island and the Caribbean.”
