We, the youth of America, have grown up in war, war war. War has become the new norm for our generation. But these conflicts—declared by older people but fought and paid for by young people—are robbing us of our future and we’re tired of it... In 2003 US politicians orchestrated the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq based on blatant lies—lies that have cost the American people over $3 trillion. Imagine what we could have done with this money: With $3 trillion dollars, we could have guaranteed free higher education for all interested Americans... With $3 trillion, we could have created a system of universal health care... With $3 trillion we could have renovated our decrepit public schools and crumbling public infrastructure... With $3 trillion we could have created a national energy grid based... upon renewable energy sources... — Ben Norton, Tyra Walker, Anastasia Taylor, Alli McCracken, Colleen Moore, Jes Grobman, Ashley Lopez
