Next Wednesday August 29 marks the 2nd anniversary of the day the levees of New Orleans failed under the onslaught of Hurricane Katrina.
Happy Birthday Katrina is a new site, launched by the Jewish Funds for Justice, that contains really good information about what's happening in and around New Orleans, and concrete things that you can do.
Additionally, you can watch a sneak preview of a provocative Public Service Announcement that will be broadcast this weekend on the Reuters digital billboard in Times Square, titled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATRINA."
It's easy for us all to get caught up in our daily work and lives, but having visited New Orleans this past spring and seen up close how powerfully justice continues to elude the citizens of that city and the surrounding area, I can tell you that it is absolutely crucial for us all to remain aware and involved.
