We're Not Gonna Take It!
Protest Karaoke-Style
We're Not Gonna Take It is an interactive public art project that allows you to record your own protest songs using the telephone.
You can create a song about issues you wish to protest (such as corporate globalism, your landlord's poor repair record, or bad produce at the supermarket). You record your song by using the telephone like a karaoke machine, singing along to rock music. Your personal protest song will then be delivered to the politicians of your choosing.
