Peace Takes Courage is a project by Ava Lowery. Ava is a 15 year old student and peace activist from Alabama.  In Mid-March 2005,  she created her first animation. Since then she has made over 70  animations, many of them about the war in Iraq. In April 2006,  Cindy Sheehan wrote an article about Ava and her effort to  promote peace through this website. Ava has been featured on   Progressive Magazine online, MichaelMoore.com, Buzzflash.com,  Truthout.org, and other sites. 

Ava Lowery - Peace Takes Courage

I was so taken with Ava's animations and courage that I intend to publish a different one of her more than seventy animations on the front page of our website every day.  

This brave American has received death threats for her animations, particularly for her animation, "WWJD."  She speaks truth to power and has earned the "Wings of Justice Award" from the Progressive web site, Buzzflash.com.  I encourage you to take a look at her website and at her animations and see if you agree with me that Ava is a true American hero - someone we could all  emulate.
