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_ (http://www.nationalpriorities.org/) are sponsoring a youth video project to help young people (13-23) 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 if you work with youth or in schools, this is a chance to get involved in making a video with the theme “If I Had a Trillion Dollars!”. You can download all the materials you need to participate on the right side of this page. The videos already submitted for this project are available on _our YouTube channel_ (http://www.youtube.com/user/IHTDVideos) . Open the Overview/Rules document first for the parameters of the contest. Then you can use the Issues Toolkit to help you understand the issues, and the Video Toolkit to learn how to make and upload your video. If you work with a group and have more time to spend, you can use our Curriculum Guide to do activities together to gain more knowledge. For more in-depth training on the Federal Budget, sign-up for a _National Priorities Project Webinar_ (http://www.nationalpriorities.org/newsletter/2010/07/13/NPP-new-webinar-federal-budget-101) .
