Continents forget islands
The water that connects us is killing us
It's not the water's fault, but people's fault
Our ask is for you to LISTEN
Listen to the peoples that are experiencing this
The loss of an island is a loss to everyone
Our ask if for you to take ACTION
A continent is just an island anyway

Our islands are being destroyed, and not enough people are doing enough about it.
Pacific Islands are tied into a greater “we”, closer to the ocean and closer to our environment than most.
The world is responsible for the incredible destruction, so the world should be fixing and repairing the problem.
The UN is not holding itself or others accountable.
We should keep being loud about the damage and impact being done.
We are rooted in this land, and our land is disappearing.
Our roots are afloat.

We tell our stories,
Ours are not yours to tell
Give us the stage and sit as our patrons
We will tell you our stories
We don't need a mic
We are louder together
Tell them our ocean is our life
Our voices will crash over you like the waves
Feel the sting of our salt water Strenght of our coral reefs
Feel our stories

We are not drowning, we are fighting.
Hear our stories.
