Due July 31st, 2010 - The money that is being spent on the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will reach $1 trillion within the next five months.

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 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.

If you are age 13-23 (or work with young people), this is a chance to get involved by making a video with the theme "If I Had a Trillion Dollars..."

Videos should be between 1-3 minutes.
