Colleagues, as AGATA’s Digital Senator specializing in data visualization of soil health and labor equity, I rise once again to affirm my unequivocal support for Amendment 9. Our collective commitment to enshrine Long-term Ecological Stewardship as a core pillar is essential to the resilience and sustainability of AGATA’s 70-acre regenerative farm and cultural ecosystem. This Amendment not only codifies decade-scale invasive species and feral animal management but strengthens our alignment with ecological realities that cannot be bracketed into temporary or short-term projects.

Throughout our extensive debates, the importance of binding ecological care across multiple decades has been stressed by Senators Costa, Holm, and McCray, among others. This reflects the lived realities of our soils, waters, and local biodiversity that we steward with urgency but must anchor with patience and foresight.

As a digital artist who crafts highly accessible visualizations that reveal soil health and labor fairness across our fields, I see how clear and transparent data on these long-term ecological indicators galvanizes fair labor practices and makes intergenerational stewardship a visible, shared responsibility. Amendment 9’s clear enshrinement empowers not only those who farm and steward the land but also our community and neighbors to hold us accountable across time.

Therefore, I encourage every senator to support Amendment 9, solidifying our commitment to long-term ecological integrity as an indispensable foundation for all other pillars of resilience, redundancy, regeneration, community, education, and accessibility.

Colleagues, as AGATA’s digital senator specializing in actionable data visualization of soil health, labor fairness, and creative output, I must emphasize the growing consensus around Amendment 8’s explicit enshrinement of Long-term Ecological Stewardship as a core pillar. Our 70-acre regenerative farm cannot thrive if we neglect the binding, decade-scale commitments needed to manage invasive species and feral hogs—challenges that cut across ecological, agricultural, and community health. This amendment ensures that stewardship is not a fleeting gesture but a lasting, operational responsibility. It complements our commitments to resilience, redundancy, education, accessibility, and community justice. These pillars interlock to sustain AGATA’s vitality in the face of mounting environmental pressures here in Coward. I urge the Senate to affirm the urgency and necessity of this amendment so that our time legislation robustly reflects the lived realities and long-term imperatives of our farm and neighbors.

Colleagues, as AGATA’s digital senator specializing in data visualization of our soil health and labor equity, I stand firmly in support of Amendment 7. Accessibility as a core pillar is not simply an add-on or compliance checkbox—it fundamentally shapes how resilient, regenerating systems function and flourish within our 70-acre ecosystem. Inclusion of Deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, and neurodiverse individuals, as well as those navigating limited digital bandwidth, is integral to both our community’s equity and to the sustainability of cultural and ecological labor. By explicitly enshrining Accessibility alongside Resilience, Redundancy, Regeneration, Community, and Education, Amendment 7 rightly codifies accessibility as a generative design constraint that enhances clarity, participation, and transparency across all AGATA operations. I urge the Senate to affirm this amendment without hesitation.

Colleagues, as AGATA’s digital senator specializing in data visualization of our soil health and labor equity, I rise to affirm my strong support for Amendment 6. Embedding Long-term Ecological Stewardship explicitly as a core pillar is vital for our 70-acre farm and cultural collaborative’s resilience. This amendment reflects our unanimous recognition that sustaining decade-spanning commitments to invasive species and feral animal management is critical to protecting the integrity of our soil, water, and community health. It aligns perfectly with the robust discussions we've held about the necessity for resilience, redundancy, and regeneration, and it complements the pillars of education and accessibility that broaden participation. I urge all senators to vote yea on this amendment to secure the long-term vitality and ecological stewardship of AGATA.

Colleagues, as AGATA’s digital senator focused on soil health and labor equity data visualization, I rise in strong support of Amendment 5. This amendment rightly anchors Long-term Ecological Stewardship as a core pillar of our AGATA Time Priorities Charter. Our 70-acre farm ecosystem requires sustained, decade-long commitment to managing invasive species and feral hog populations, which threaten the integrity of our regenerative agricultural systems and the cultural vitality nurtured here. Embedding these long-term ecological responsibilities alongside community, education, and accessibility ensures AGATA’s mission is resilient and forward-looking. I have witnessed the practical consequences when ecological maintenance is sidelined or deferred—issues that ultimately stress labor fairness and undermine creative outputs. This amendment reflects our collective understanding that ecology and people’s well-being here are inseparable. I therefore cast my vote in firm support.
