New Orleans 100: A Look at the Good That's Happened Since Katrina.

The New Orleans 100 is a worldwide initiative that will highlight and
encourage discussion among millions about 100 of the most innovative
and world-changing ideas to take root in the city since Katrina.

After hearing so many of the positive changes and innovative projects
post-Katrina, we've decided enough is enough. It's time to put an end
to the negative press in mainstream media. We know that the levees
broke. We know that our city is dysfunctional. We know that.

But do you know about Prospect.1? The largest biennial of
international contemporary art ever organized in the United States.
Or
NOLA YURP? An organization that offers a support and resource network
to connect, retain, and attract young professionals from diverse
backgrounds for a sustainable New Orleans. The world needs to know
about the NEW New Orleans. And to quote Brad Pitt, "If you're going
to rebuild something, why not rebuild it right?" Amen brother.

To combat top down media during the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina,
we will leverage bottom up tools on the social web (email, blogs,
twitter, facebook, digg, etc.), which can reach a combined audience
of millions to raise awareness about New Orleans and inspire action to
make a difference.

The list will be released on Monday, August 25th - the week of the
Hurricane Katrina anniversary. Our goal is to reach 1,000,000 views
by 8/29/08. We encourage everyone to spread the word by emailing the
list, blogging it, digging it, stumbling it, etc. You can make a
difference. All it takes is a click!
