Before Deciding

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.

1. Our guest Shekeyna Black shares the goings on with the Peace and Justice Center of Sonoma County to fulfill its mission "to inform, support and energize the Sonoma County community to create peace and social justice through active nonviolence." The Donation Drive for the Houseless begun last year is continuing to collect clothes every Tuesday from 3 to 5 pm, and Shekeyna does a shout out to the faithful volunteers accomplishing this action. The Center is still closed due to the pandemic restrictions, but folks can keep up with activities through subscribing for free to their weekly newsletter and by reading the monthly Peace Press available for free online at its website. The Center is looking for new boardmembers, so give Shekeyna a call at the Center. On the PJC’s Nominations webpage you can nominate a person or group for one of 5 different categories for its annual Awards Dinner in November. The Peace and Justice Center is a good way to get involved to help the community.

2. Our second segment is a Memorial to Alix Dobkin (1940-2021), who passed away on May 19th. Alix Dobkin composed and performed the song The Woman in Your Life is You, that opens and closes Women's Spaces Radio Show, which Alix so generously gave the permission to do.  Our host Elaine B. Holtz interviewed Alix Dobkin on December 1, 2014, and we play that interview today on the show, as well as some of her songs. She discusses what was happening in 1972 when she composed that song, which she considered a gift, and discovered Feminism as an antidote to Patriarchy.
