A Call to Artists, Activists, Students
The money that is being spent on the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is about to reach $1 TRILLION. This money could be spent in our communities on many things that now face cuts, like after school programs, art and music programs, and summer jobs.
YOU can help us spread the word. The American Friends Service Committee and National Priorities Project are sponsoring a youth video project to help young people (high school and college age) enter the cost of war discussion. Share your ideas about what you would do – for yourself, your family and your community – with $1 trillion by making a short (1-3 minute) video by NOVEMBER 30, 2010.
If you are age 13-23 or work with youth, this is a chance to get involved by making a video with the theme “If I Had a Trillion Dollars...”.
You can download the IHTD Overview/Rules, IHTD Issues Toolkit, IHTD Video Toolkit, and IHTD Curriculum by going to: http://afsc.org/action/if-i-had-trillion-dollars-youth-video-contest
Invite your friends to this event to help us spread the word!
The Rules:
· Entries must be produced by youth between the ages of 13 and 23.
