All five living former U.S. presidents united in a call for donations to relief efforts for Hurricane Harvey and the looming Hurricane Irma on Thursday.
The online campaign, called the “One America Appeal,” brought together former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter in a singular plea for donations to ongoing recovery efforts in Texas and likely future efforts in Florida and U.S. territories in the Caribbean in the wake of Irma.
“Hurricane Harvey brought out terrible destruction, but it also brought out the best in humanity,” Clinton said in a promotional video by the group.
