LiveByReason<p>Record yourself setting The New Colossus to music. Give it a tune that you think is most fitting for it, and put it on the Internet starting Jan 1, 2026. If you can, make a music video.</p><p>I want to see new versions of The New Colossus in my feed every day. I want to see some version become a new national anthem.</p><p>I want MAGA to wail and gnash their teeth that everywhere they go, they hear The New Colossus - on the radio, the internet, the TV, at public events. I want to see a million people singing it on the National Mall on July 4th, 2026.</p>
