For the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Habitat for Humanity has enlisted Quincy Jones and Usher to “[implore] Americans not to forget the victims of the storm.”

Quincy Jones will also be commandeering calls to action on his video podcast series, distributed by Wizzard Media, which also put together this teaser.
