The hardest part about what I do, the most vulnerable place is my relationship with my family and Sara, my amazing partner, because I'm leaving a lot.

I've always found that the poorer the places that I go, the more smiles I see, and the more happiness I see.
Michael Franti
If the first casualty of war is innocence, then perhaps with each bullet fired, bomb detonated, leader overthrown, wall built, economy destroyed and family member killed, we are not creating goodwill and harmony, but rather another child who believes violence is the only means to bring about change in the world.
Michael Franti
Whenever people go out of their way to help other people - there's power and beauty in our diversity.
Michael Franti
The most difficult part for me is feeling connected to the people that I love but always being on the go to different places.
Michael Franti
The world can't have a global solution to climate change with U.S. action alone and the world can't have a global solution without U.S. action.
Michael Franti
The U.S. has historically been the world's largest contributor to climate change.
