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 host Elaine B. Holtz: The
armed conflict in Israel with its apartheid treatment of
native Palestinians in favor of Jews has erupted again.
If War was the answer we would have had peace long ago.
Our 2-1/2 year old granddaughter Satori recently was in
the middle of a temper tantrum when her mother Amber
asked her to use words. Satori muttered "angry". Her
mother then asked, "Why are you angry" Satori replied,
"Daddy won't let me play with my toy." Satori's Dad was
then approached by Amber with Satori, and Satori talked
with her Dad Ryan and they worked things out. Of course
there are other forces at play in the Mideast and
hopefully international and USA pressure will rise to
the occassion for peace.

2. Our
first guest Eris Weaver talks about what led
her to accept the leadership of the Sonoma County
Bicycle Coalition (SCBC) and its mission to make the
roads safer for bicycling and increase bicycle ridership
in the county. Individual choices intersect with policy,
and the Bicycle Coalition advocates at the county and
city government level as a voice to temper the faster
roads goals with safety for bicycle riders. This
Wednesday evening is the annual Memorial Ride of
Silence for those bicyclists who have been
killed riding bicycles, which is observed nationally and
globally. White Ghost Bikes are featured at each event
to honor individual fallen cyclists. Santa Rosa,
Petaluma and Sonoma Valley are organizing such Rides of
Silence and information and registration to join the
ride is available at the Coalition's website at
www.bikesonoma.org/ride_of_silence/ .
About our Guest:Eris Weaver spent sixteen months as
the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition's (SCBC) Outreach & Events Coordinator before stepping up
to lead the team as director. Driven by her lack of
tolerance for boredom, her patchwork career path has
included newspaper deliverer, medical librarian, organic
bread baker, health educator, mediator, college
professor, newspaper columnist, graphic recorder,
kayaking instructor, meeting facilitator, corporate
trainer, dancer, and organizational development
consultant.
She holds a BA in Environmental Studies & Planning from
SSU and two master’s degrees from UC Berkeley (Library &
Information Studies and Public Health).
In addition to working at SCBC, she serves on the Cotati
Design Review Committee and is a member of the Sonoma
County Search & Rescue team. She lives with her wife at
Frog Song, a cohousing community in Cotati.
Memorial Ride of Silence on Wednesday May 19,
2021. Information and preregistration for the
event in 1of 3 locations, Santa Rosa, Petaluma, or
Sonoma Valley:

3. Our
second guest Tyra Benoit experienced the first
Earth Day as a teenager and has been a dedicated
environmentalist ever since. Climate Change
touched her dramatically in the Tubs Fire in which she
lost her home, though she is one of the fortunate
climate migrants who had insurance and able to move into
another home in the county. Tyra talks about how the
those of color or of lower economic class suffer more
proportionately to Climate Change. Twice as many Black
children suffer from asthma due to industrial air
pollution than White children. And new diseases are
arising from the global warming, especially those
transmitted from other animals, as the animals lose
their habitats to deforestation, drought, and wildfires.
Tyra encourages us to be carbon farmers, even if we live
in the cities, and to seek out the knowledge on Climate
Change by joining a local group, such as the 350 groups,
o r Arm-in-Arm For Climate and/or support the Sunrise
Movement of the youth.
About our Guest: Tyra
Benoit holds an MA in History and taught about
world civilizations at the community college and middle
school levels for more than forty years. She has been an
activist for social justice and the environment her
whole adult life. In 2019, after retiring from a
position as a dean at SRJC, her ongoing concern for the
survival of her own civilization led her to the Climate
Reality Project where she was trained as a Climate
Reality Leader. Very recently, she helped to co-found
both the Sonoma County Climate Mobilization and a local
hub of Arm-in-Arm For Climate. She lives in Healdsburg,
moving there after losing her home in the Tubbs Fire in
2017.
