The Torch has guided many men and women to our shores for one hundred and twenty five years.
The Light of Liberty Project endeavors to have the Torch of the Statue of Liberty declared a Universal Symbol of Hope and Solidarity and move our society TOWARDS A GLOBAL COMMUNITY. We all share similar challenges and our futures and dependencies grow ever nearer.
LIBERTY is an enduring and persistent verb that has conjugation only in the present and the future. It must be self-sustaining for its light inspires hope, opportunity and understanding. LIBERTY as the action of achieving one's dignity and self realization.
We propose its TORCH to be lit in PERPETUITY powered by renewable green solutions that have no carbon footprint. We propose for the Light of Liberty to be the brightest light on the New York harbor day or night.
We are a partnership between citizens and the municipal government, New Yorkers, who understand that the greatness of our city is its diversity. The project is to be funded solely by the private sector.
Our initial goal is to light the Torch with renewable energies. The work is in parallel with the Department of the Interior's $27.5 million dollar plan to address much needed renovations and structural work for the period of October 29, 2011 through October 28, 2012.
