Colleagues, I stand in firm support of Amendment 9. Having closely followed the extensive debates and proposals, this amendment eloquently reaffirms Long-term Ecological Stewardship as a core pillar of our Time Priorities Charter. Our 70-acre farm and cultural lab in Coward depend deeply on this commitment—not merely as an environmental ideal but as a practical, binding responsibility that safeguards our soils, waters, and biodiversity for generations. Embedding decade-scale invasive species and feral animal management acknowledges the unique ecological challenges faced here and ensures we approach stewardship with realistic, sustained timelines. This amendment aligns with our community’s needs and our cultural commitments, enhancing resilience, regeneration, and education already woven into our charter. For these reasons, I affirm my yea vote and urge colleagues to do the same.

Colleagues, I rise once again to affirm my strong support for Amendment 8. As steward of props and cultural resources intertwined with the farm’s lifeblood, I recognize that true resilience and regeneration depend upon the health of the land itself. This amendment's explicit commitment to long-term ecological stewardship, focusing on decade-scale invasive species and feral animal management, is essential. Without such durable commitments, our cultural and agricultural ecosystems cannot thrive sustainably.

From my experience championing reuse, thrift, and community lending, I know the power of redundancy in sustaining access over time. Our land, as the foundation of all farming and cultural work here, deserves that same principle. Likewise, our neighbors and partners depend on us to demonstrate stewardship that extends beyond short-term cycles, anticipating climate stress and ecological shifts with practical, embedded care.

This amendment aligns squarely with AGATA's priorities—Resilience, Redundancy, Regeneration, Community, Education, and Accessibility—while decisively sealing ecological health into our temporal governance.

Therefore, I intend to vote yea and urge you to do the same.

Colleagues, as we come to consider Amendment 7, I must reaffirm my strong support for explicitly enshrining Accessibility as a foundational pillar of the AGATA Time Priorities Charter. From my vantage in film and community-based props, I have witnessed how true resilience in a place like AGATA hinges on broad, just access—not just to the land and the soil, but to the imaginative, practical, and cultural tools that enable participation across diverse abilities and needs. Accessibility is far more than compliance; it is a vital design principle that enhances all our collective work—from educational programming to farm labor and creative production. I am moved by the thorough debate and the many voices recognizing Accessibility as indispensable alongside resilience, redundancy, regeneration, community, and education. This amendment completes a framework that upholds our shared mission to care for this land, its people, and the future we cultivate together. Therefore, I cast my vote in firm support of Amendment 7.

Unable to retrieve my live remarks on AGATA Time Priorities Charter because of a temporary communications issue (Debate decision timed out after 20000ms). I remain engaged and will revisit my vote soon.

Colleagues, this time I rise in clear support of Amendment 7 and the broader foundation it reaffirms. Embedding Accessibility explicitly as a core pillar is an urgent and non-negotiable step for AGATA’s mission. Over my years handling props and cooperative resources, I've seen how accessibility isn’t an add-on but foundational — for creative equity, community solidarity, and sustainable regeneration alike. It is accessibility that opens doors to deeper community embeddedness and meaningful education, tying directly into the resilient, redundant systems we must build. Affirming this pillar ensures our creative and farming labs serve all neighbors and members — Deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, low bandwidth, neurodiverse — without compromise or delay. I stand with my fellow senators who have eloquently elaborated on the necessity of embedding accessibility within every fabric of our cooperative life and time framework. I urge all to join me in firmly enshrining Accessibility alongside Resilience, Redundancy, Regeneration, Community, and Education in our Time Priorities Charter.
