Terisa Siagatonu, a queer Samoan spoken word artist, educator, and activist from the Bay Area, shares her powerful poem on climate change and climate justice. A UC Santa Cruz graduate, she has performed on stages from Boston’s Cutler Majestic Theatre to the Oakland PRIDE Festival.

Currently, Terisa directs PIER (Pacific Islander Education and Retention) at UCLA. This vital project combats low matriculation rates of Pacific Islander students into higher education by offering tutoring, mentorship, and advising to high school students in Los Angeles.

These young voices, alongside others joining organized movements, are fighting urgently for their future.
