Peace Takes Courage


Who better understands that than Cindy Sheehan and her new young friend, Ava Lowrey. Cindy wrote an article in response to personal attacks against Ava Lowrey, a 15-year-old student and peace activist from Alabama and founder of ""Peace Takes Courage."

In July, 2005, Ava made her first anti-war animation; since then, she has since produced over 70 more.

I applaud Ava, a young woman who has succeeded in backing up her values with a creative, personal commitment to peace.

Ava, lead the way! You're an inspiration to all of us.

"The 32%" is a Must See:

Ava's newest animation is an astute, insightful response to some of the comments she has received from her critics. (We've all had our fair share of this type of "criticism.") Watch "The 32%", and see how Ava answered them.
Please help Ava get her message out by sending this link to friends, bloggers, and media contacts. You can view some of Ava's animations at the Huffington Post Contagious Festival here.

I CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AVA AND BUSH. ONE YOUNG PERSON THAT TALKS ABOUT GOD AND JESUS AND AN OLD ONE THAT TALKS TO GOD AND LISTENS TO JESUS. I THINK THE WORD HERE IS "LOCO", FOR BOTH OF THEM. ONE SHOULD BE SCHOOL AND LEARNING ABOUT LIFE AND THE OTHER SHOULD HAVE RETIRED SOME 5 YEARS AGO. BOTH SHOULD TALK TO THEIR PARENTS FIRST BEFORE MAKING A DECISION. I DON'T THINK JESUS COULD HANDLE IT. DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ.

I agree with 1/2 your statement, anonymous. George W. Bush is LOCO.

To think Ava is nuts is to think Jesus promotes wars. Which would make YOU LOCO, not her.

Her message is simple: Stop the killing and stop promoting unnecessary war. Got it?
