"We started Brooklyn for Life! out of love for Brooklyn and out of solidarity with our neighbors," said Wright in a statement. "This is home. The hope is that Brooklyn emerges from this global pandemic as strong and as beautiful as she was before COVID, and our community is coming together to help make that happen. The video tries to celebrate that and express gratitude for those on the front lines of that effort.
