Some Exciting News about my site Peace Takes Courage

[Ava]

PeaceTakesCourage has taken me on an amazing journey over the past year. I went from being a frustrated citizen that felt like I couldn't make a difference to being proof that every person can make an impact - even if it's just a small one. Now I'm beginning a new journey, making my first documentary. Over the past few years I've been creating short videos about the war in Iraq. Now I want to expand that into a full-length film to help bring awareness about this war and it's effects.

This is an exciting move for me since I have a passion for film and an even bigger passion to end this war, but I need your help. Making a film costs money and that is where I ask for you help. Every dollar helps! If every person that visited this website contributed only 1 dollar we would be able to raise money for this film in no time at all. So I'm asking for your help in making this documentary. Please consider making a contribution to help fund an exciting new future for PeaceTakesCourage.

Thanks for your support,
Ava Lowery



If you are an Iraq war Veteran, have a family member who served, or just think that you would make a great addition to the documentary and are interested in doing an interview please contact me. We are still in the development stage of this film but we would love to hear from you!
