Ava Lowery is the teenage peace activist from Alabama behind the website, PeaceTakesCourage.com, and has received an amazing amount of attention. Ava's animations show the multidimensional tragedy of the Iraq war- losses of brave young soldiers to American families, and loss of innocent civilians in Iraq. Poignant and raw, Ava's youth and sincerity has attracted support from a broad base of both soldiers and activists.
Name: Ava
I'm obsessed with politics, current events, and "deep" discussions. I can ramble on for hours about religion, the war in Iraq, different political issues, and any other interesting topic you bring up. I like to create videos for my website www.peacetakescourage.com and I'm currently working on my first documentary. I also like to watch movies, especially if they have good cinematography. I'm a peace activist and raging liberal working for peace and justice.

politics is a good obsession to have? Have you ever done Speech and Debate of Forensics? if not give those a try, I loved 'em. You shot film at the DNC. I live in downtown denver so I took the week off and went camping lol.

When you love someone,


When you love someone,
you want him to stay alive,
you want him to be proud of his acts,
you wan't him to help peace, democracy and liberty.

When you love someone,
you don't wan't him to "seek and destroy",
you don't wan't him to be forced to kill,
you don't want him to fight just to be able to put some petrol in your car.
