Michael Franti
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.

A lot of times we look at the whole world and think, 'it's so daunting, how can we change the whole world?' and you don't need to do that, what you need to do is change your world a little bit, and see if you can, through example, inspire others to do the same thing.

I drive a hybrid. It's a Ford Escape. That's my only car.
Michael Franti
Collectively, we activists are essential to advancing U.S. policy to help empower marginalized people to lift themselves and their communities out of poverty for good.
Michael Franti
Through music I either tame my demons or unleash them and allow them to be what they are. I don't want the music to be about provocation, I want the music to bring you to a place where you feel at home
Michael Franti
We can bomb the world to pieces, but we can't bomb it into peace.
Michael Franti
Many kids in foster homes have a lot of emotions that are hard to get out. It's important to let them know they can make a difference in the community.
Michael Franti
Be as radiant as the sun, as healing as the rain, as generous as a tree.
Michael Franti
I feel alive when I feel ease of heart.
