The AFL-CIO is launching the Turn Around America Online Video Competition to engage and inspire people like you from across the country to tell us how they’d turn our country around.

Click here to submit your short video today.

Most winners will receive cash prizes and selected videos will be featured in television ads.

Our panel of celebrity judges will pick several of the winners, while visitors to the website will choose the recipient of the “Our America” award.

Plus, some of the winning videos will appear in television ads—in part to engage voters and 2008 political candidates in a national dialogue about what is necessary to get America back on track.

At a time when working people are struggling as never before—home foreclosures, bankruptcies, soaring health care costs, jobs sent overseas—we want to know what you think we should do to turn around America.

Our goal is to start a new kind of national conversation through this video competition. It’s about making your voice heard and earning a platform in our national conversation on the future, the upcoming election and beyond.

Tell us your story.

Participants will be invited to submit online videos in any creative form. Your video must be no longer than 3 minutes and 30 seconds.

Sincerely,

Working America, AFL-CIO
