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.

Don'tcha love posts in which people play the 'real world' card? 9 times out of 10 what they call their real world is either some fantasy devoid of contact with the facts or gives them insights into only things that are inapplicable to the problem at hand. =P

I love some people below me on the comment list are calling you names and saying you don't know what you are talking about simply because your viewpoint is different from theirs.

Keep doing what you're doing Ava. Don't listen to these jerks.

My uncle got back from Iraq three months ago after 378 days and he saw your channel. He says you are a loud mouth that needs to join the real world before you talk. I for one hope your major isn't politics cause you don't know shit.

Ava, I've just stumbled across your channel and watched only a few videos, but I have to say, you're doing amazing things. Amazing and so very very important. As many people have already said, you're an inspiration.

Keep up the good fight, so as we may end the bad one.

You are a stupid cunt. Why don't you enlist in the military and see things really are in the real world before trashing America to the delight of all the foreigners who love people like you.

At least you'll drop a few pounds.

Understandable...we're on two different sides of the spectrum.

I believe that there are many, many bad people in this world who need to die a horrible death, while you're out to save them. Apples and oranges.

I still think you're a hippie :P
