My life should not be a public policy debate • When I heard she had been confirmed, I felt my heart drop. I am 16 and I am hearing my life, my future, being put into jeopardy because of 4 votes-- just 4 votes decided if my future would be at stake. I cannot put into words how I feel, so I created this. Please, listen. Pay attention to this pain. If you can, vote, because I cannot. Vote like your life depends on it, because mine does. Thank you. • Words: Senator Cory Booker, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Former Senator Al Franken, Justice Amy Coney Barrett • Music: Endings by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com/ • Bio • Izzi Kessner (they/them) is a circus performer based in Los Angeles, California. They specialize in aerial rope (corde lisse); however, they are well versed in many other aspects of circus arts, including aerial silks, straps, dance, and acrobatic movements. Izzi creates art relating to their identity as a queer/genderqueer individual, combining contemporary circus with creative movement to create powerful and moving circus acts. • They have performed across the United States, including as a guest artist for the West Coast Aerial Arts Festival, in Las Vegas as part of a traveling anti-bullying circus show, and on ABC7’s 2020 LGBTQ Pride special, celebrating the 50th anniversary of LA Pride. • Izzi also creates content, primarily through their Instagram page, to be a voice for young LGBTQ+ individuals and advocate for equality and acceptance. Recently, they collaborated with Nike, sharing their love of air and aerial for Nike’s new Air Max campaign.
