Pacific Islanders, we hear your warning that climate poses an existential threat to your nations.
We hear your calls for reassurance that you never lose your statehood or membership in the UN as a result.
Today, I’m making it clear that this is our position as well.
We lost the very best girl today. Cleo Crocker, 2/22/08-4/02/22. She loved her life until the end, & we loved her more than I could ever do justice to with words. RIP.
