The candidates got their chance to answer, and now the AFL-CIO is sponsoring a video competition to engage and inspire people from across the country to answer that question and take it one step further — “What's wrong with America, what changes would you like to see and how do we turn it around?”
Our goal is to start a new kind of national conversation through this video contest. This contest is not about winning iPods™ or flat-screen TVs, the stakes are much higher. This is about making your voice heard and earning a platform in our national conversation on the future, the upcoming election and beyond.
America isn't working the way it should. Homes are being foreclosed on at alarming rates…families are surviving without health care…people are being forced to decide between gasoline and groceries…men and women are working harder for lower wages…we are on the brink of economic peril.
Start by thinking about how this impacts you — tell us your personal story. What are you experiencing? What about your family? Your friends? Your neighbors? What is impacting your community? Your school? What’s your vision of America? And, as important, how would you turn things around?
