Make Levees, Not War Day

Via New Orleans Network:

New Orleans Our Hometown.org (NOOHT.org) is encouraging all New Orleanians and lovers of New Orleans to wear a "Make Levees, Not War" T-shirt to Jazz Fest, work, or just around town on Friday April 28, 2006.

On that Friday, the first of Jazz Fest, we will have a high concentration of visitors. What a perfect time to send the message that we need better levee protection. Just imagine the impact it would make if thousands of people were sporting the same message.

Show your solidarity New Orleans. Either paint your own shirt or purchase one at Metro Three, 2032 Magazine, 558-0212 or LeMieux Galleries, 200 Metairie Road location, 837-4044.

This is not an endorsement – you can get your "Make Levees, Not War" T-shirt, and other thoughtful T-shirts, at other shops as well. Furthermore, I'd encourage locals (and locals lovers) going to Jazz Fest to be ambassadors of the city by wearing a New Orleans-themed shirt through the entire festival.
