Make videos, not war
Christian Century, May 1, 2007
MAKE VIDEOS, NOT WAR: Ava Lowery, 16, is a Methodist peace activist in Alexander City, Alabama. Rolling Stone magazine called her one of the great mavericks of 2006. Lowery makes homemade videos that juxtapose images from the Iraq war with popular music and provocative quotes (her Web site is peacetakescourage.com).
One of her best-known videos is "WWJD?" which pairs the song "Jesus Loves Me" with images of grieving and wounded Iraqi children. She says her antiwar stance has lost her some friends, and she has received death threats, but otherwise she sees herself as a typical teenager (Chicago Tribune, April 4).
