When our representatives are making important
decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask
one basic question before making
those decisions, Is this good for
the children?
Just imagine what our world would be like if that question was asked prior
to making decisions about going to war, the environment, education or
healthcare.

Commentary by Elaine B.
Holtz
The last show of the month
always features the Women's Spaces Pledge. Elaine makes
a special tribute to Helen Reddy who passed away in 2020
during the Centennial Year of Women's Suffrage, by
playing her song I Am Woman, released in 1975, that
greatly influenced the Women's Liberation Movement.
Discussion with Featured Guest:
1. Maya Khosla, a
wildlife biologist, one of 3 selected as Sonoma County
Conservation Council (SCCC) Environmentalist of the Year
2020, and Poet Laureate of Sonoma County 2018-2020,
announces the Sonoma County Climate Activists'
Community Summit: It's Up To Us!, to be held
via Zoom on January 10, 2021. Maya invites you to take
part in this coalition of organizations' Sonoma County
Climate Activists Network (SCCAN) event, whom she
mentions during the interview and who are listed at the
event website. Maya talks about the wildfires and
floods that have plagued our county, nation and planet
and their relation to a common cause, human induced
climate change. Learn to get to know the various
coalition organizations' missions with the special
lineup of speakers in this 3-hour event and how you can
be involved. The event is free, and donations are
welcome. From recognizing the value of traditional
indigenous practices, to becoming aware of the dangers
of relying on biomass, that includes felling Old Growth
Trees, for energy generation, and to learn about
regenerative agriculture, the danger of placing Gas
Stations in sensitive zones, the Green New Deal, climate
justice, racial and social justice all playing a part.
In 2021 Sonoma County will review and change the General
Plan, and informed activists are needed to lobby for
vital changes.
