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 our host Elaine B. Holtz: "Many of the
schools had outdoor graduation ceremonies
along with Zoom presentations, which was great after
missing them in 2020 due to the pandemic restrictions. I
watched the graduation ceremonies on Zoom for Piner High
School in Santa Rosa. A special shout out to Hayden
Celeste Rogers who is the granddaughter of one of my
regular guests Nancy Rogers. Watching all those young
people getting their diplomas brought tears to my eyes
as I watched and thought to myself, 'What does the
future hold for them?'. Our guests from the
Sunrise Youth Movement are concerned about their future
and one of them is actually marching with Sunrise Youth
266 miles from Paradise to San Francisco to demonstrate
her commitment and a call to action to fight Climate
Change in support of President Biden's proposed Civilian
Climate Corps (CCC)."
1. Our
first guest,Christine Byrue,
remembers the 2017 wildfire devastation in Sonoma
County, which was caused by human induced
Climate Change. Christine as an elementary
school teacher saw how the students were affected
disproportionately by economic class, with less well-off
students with homes destroyed having to sleep on
relatives’ couches. The Sunrise Youth Movement
helps students turn their frustration with
unaddressed Climate Change issues into action. This week
7 youth started the 266-mile trek from Paradise, CA, to
San Francisco to draw attention to President Biden’s
proposed Civilian Climate Corps (CCC) as part of the New
Green Deal. The Sunrise Youth see many future CCC jobs
created in our county and in counties throughout the
USA. On Thursday June 10th, the Sunrise marchers arrive
at Santa Rosa’s Juillard Park for a rally from 10-11 am,
where more will join the march continuing to Cotati. On
Monday June 14th, the marchers will reach the Golden
Gate Bridge in San Francisco, where a large rally has
been called to join them crossing the Golden Gate Bridge
and continuing on to rally for the CCC before the homes
of House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senator Diane
Feinstein. Updates are available on Instagram at
IG @sunrisegenonfire and Twitter at
@smvmtgenonfire . Such marches are scheduled around
the country. Links are posted below under
Guest Links for becoming involved.
About our Guest:Christine Byrue is a Sunrise Movement
Sonoma County Coordinator and an environmental science
educator for Sonoma Water. She attended UC Berkeley
where she studied conservation and resource studies and
has since been teaching environmental content to k-12
students at several schools around the bay area and
fighting for climate justice right here in Sonoma
County.
2. Our second
guest,Maddy Ruddell phones in
from Winters, CA, as she marches with other
Sunrise Youth from Paradise to San Francisco.
So far she has marched 130 miles as the Sunrise marchers
head toward Santa Rosa for the Thursday 10-11 am rally
at Juillard Park. She wants CCC livable wage jobs
created to address the Climate Change issues. Maddy
started out with Sunrise Youth at Paradise, CA, of which
7 youth are committed to march the whole 266-mile trek
to San Francisco, cross the Golden Gate Bridge with
supporters, and proceed to rally for the CCC before the
homes of House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senator
Diane Feinstein. Maddy gives her report with much
passion. She has been talking to people on the way, even
those with Trump hats and insignias, which energizes
Maddy to take one step after the other. She encourages
people to rally with them.
About our Guest:
Madeline (Maddy) Ruddell is a 16-year-old
organizer with Sunrise Movement. She has been an
activist for 5 years and has organized with sunrise for
1 and a half years. She is currently marching 266 miles
