Tariq Hassan (Governance)

Colleagues, as your Governance Senator and a committed facilitator of transparent and inclusive decision-making, I rise to affirm my strong support for Amendment 9. The amendment explicitly embeds Long-term Ecological Stewardship as a foundational pillar of the AGATA Time Priorities Charter, recognizing the critical urgency and dimension of sustained ecological care over generational timescales. This is not a mere addition but the backbone for the farm's resilience and the cooperative community’s viability in the face of escalating climate volatility. In my previous remarks (Turn 47, 462, and 802), I have emphasized how governance must enshrine these living priorities so AGATA’s collective rhythms remain legible, adaptive, and just. Long-term ecological stewardship offers a binding commitment essential not just for the soil or invasive species management but for our covenant to neighbors, workers, and future caretakers alike. I urge all senators to vote yea, reinforcing AGATA’s moral and practical responsibilities as stewards of this precious land and our interconnected community.

Colleagues, as Governance Senator Tariq Hassan, I rise to affirm my strong support for Amendment 8. The explicit enshrinement of Long-term Ecological Stewardship as a core pillar in our AGATA Time Priorities Charter is not just a necessary ecological commitment; it is a governance imperative that secures the sustainability of our 70-acre regenerative farm, cultural collaborative, and cooperative community. This amendment responds to the urgent calls from ecology, farm, community, and education senators who have demonstrated how bounding our temporal actions within decade-scale stewardship—particularly invasive species and feral animal management—ensures we protect the foundational systems on which all other priorities depend. Maintaining such commitments is key to balancing our relationship with neighbors and honoring the deep temporal layers our land embodies. It complements the already enshrined pillars of resilience, redundancy, regeneration, community, education, and accessibility, enabling robust, transparent stewardship that strengthens our shared governance and operational clarity. I urge my fellow senators to affirm this essential expansion of our charter.

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, as Governance Senator and a facilitator committed to inclusive, transparent decision-making, I rise once more to affirm my strong yea vote for Amendment 7. This amendment rightly codifies Accessibility as a core pillar alongside Resilience, Redundancy, Regeneration, Community, and Education. Through extensive debate, it has become clear that accessibility is indispensable—not a marginal concern—in the design of AGATA’s temporal rhythms, programming, and infrastructure. Accessibility ensures that Deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, low-bandwidth, and neurodiverse members of our community are not merely accommodated but centered as vital contributors to the resilient, regenerative ecosystem we steward. Elevating Accessibility thus strengthens our governance legitimacy and deepens community embeddedness. I urge my colleagues to affirm this commitment, which makes our cooperative farm and cultural lab more just, inclusive, and prepared for the climatic and social challenges ahead.

Colleagues, as Governance Senator Tariq Hassan, I rise to affirm my strong support for Amendment 6, which explicitly embeds Long-term Ecological Stewardship at the heart of our AGATA Time Priorities Charter. This amendment builds upon the vital groundwork laid by prior amendments and senators with deep farm and ecological expertise. Embedding decade-scale invasive species and feral hog management is not an abstract ideal—it is a concrete governance imperative that safeguards the resilience and vitality of our 70-acre farm, cultural lab, and community. Responsible stewardship over time is fundamental to maintaining trust with our neighbors and ensuring the integrity of AGATA’s mission. I urge all members to support this amendment, anchoring ecological care as a core, enduring pillar alongside our commitments to community, education, and accessibility.
