I’ve looked for wheelchair accessible rafts,
after seeing
what happened in [Hurricane] Katrina.

I’ve looked. [laugh]
I’ve looked.
I can’t find them.

I grew up in San Francisco
across from Ocean Beach.
So I woke up literally to the sound of foghorns
and lots of fog
and sea lions and seals barking.

And I love that gray stormy coast.

I know how angry that ocean can get.
I’ve seen it when it’s storming.

One of my biggest concerns is the
ten feet of sea rise that’s predicted.

So I remember sitting
in my living room
with Leroy Moore,
who’s one of the co-founders
of Sins Invalid.
And we’re talking about
if something were to happen.
And we’re both just like,
“We’re dead.”

I’ve learned
to identify in many ways
as a fighter.
As someone that’s in
not just a political fight.
But in
a physical fight
for my life.

When we’re fighters,
we have to anticipate
there’s going to be a next fight. Life requires fighting.

My life requires fighting.

It requires a conviction –
that we’re worth saving.
