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
first guest, Susan Lamont, reminds us
that this Wednesday, June 2nd, Andy Lopez, whose life
was taken by bullets fired by Sonoma County Sheriff
Deputy Eric Gelhaus at the age of 13 while walking with
a plastic toy gun, would have turned 21. A Memorial
Gathering will assemble at Andy's Unity Park in
southwest Santa Rosa with Potluck beginning at 4pm.
Susan explains how Andy's death prompted the community
to get serious about oversight of police after years of
ignoring the California Advisory Committee of the U.S.
Civil Rights Commission report in 2000 on Sonoma
County's need for law enforcement oversight. The
Independent Office of Law Enforcement Review and
Outreach (IOLERO) was formed by the County Supervisors
in response to Andy's killing. IOLERO was given more
subpoena powers with Measure P that passed with a
sizeable majority after the George Floyd killing by
police in Minneapolis in 2020. It matters when citizen
activists take to the streets and show up at County
Supervisor and City Council meetings to voice their
concerns.
About our Guest:Susan Lamont is a longtime peace and
social justice activist, who is currently affiliated
with Sonoma County's Green Party, Police Brutality
Coalition and Veterans for Peace. She is also a writer,
poet, and photographer. I have to say she is an amazing
writer and photographer. Susan I am happy to say is a
regular guest and was my first guest on my television
show in 2004.

2. Our second
guest, Monique Alcala, shares her path
to the National Organization for Women (NOW),
beginning with awareness of the need for Women's Rights
and then progressing to engagement as a volunteer. She
talks of the Core Issues of NOW, as stated on its
website: "NOW is a multi-issue, multi-strategy
organization that takes a holistic approach to women’s
rights. Our priorities are winning economic equality and
securing it with an amendment to the U.S. Constitution
that will guarantee equal rights for women; championing
abortion rights, reproductive freedom and other women’s
health issues; opposing racism; fighting bigotry against
the LGBTQIA community; and ending violence against
women." Monique addresses the problem of women
trashing other women, citing an article by Jo Freeman,
Trashing, The Dark Side of Sisterhood.
Monique, and Elaine as President of the Sonoma County
Chapter of NOW, encourages young women to get involved
with NOW that carries national clout with the activist's
voice.
About our Guest: Monique
Alcala is the Chief of Staff at the national
office for the National Organization for Women (NOW),
the largest organization of feminist grassroots
activists in the United States. Prior to joining NOW,
she served as the Coalitions Director for the
Biden-Harris campaign in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Monique has been a longtime advocate for diversity in
politics and focuses her work to center and uplift
diverse constituencies. Throughout her career, she has
developed extensive experience in strategic outreach,
project management, coalition building - including in
