It's a simple concept for a complicated time - solidarity. When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on August 29, 2005, both the people and the city itself were unequipped and unprepared for what lay ahead. Weeks after the hurricane, Ropeadope initially released Renew Orleans and we raised $80,000 for New Orleans musicians. Two years later, there is still plenty of rebuilding that needs to be done on homes as well as New Orleans' vibrant and rich culture. You can purchase Renew Orleans apparel at the Ropeadope Store.
