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.

Our Featured Guests

1.  Megan Kaun talks about a new action of Graton residents called Graton Against Synthetic Pesticides (GASP), who have rallied together to address the dangers of synthetic pesticides used on local farms, both to us humans and to other species like the bees and other pollinators.  The concern is also for the Oak Grove Elementary School in Graton. Over 9000 pounds of pesticides are used near Graton, and over 35 tons of glyphosate is used in the county.  GASP seeks better relations with the farmers and has a petition online. GASP will hold a meeting open to county residents, especially those in Graton, on December 4 at the Graton Community Club, Main St & N Edison..6:00 PM – 7:30 PM.

About our Guest:  Megan Kaun has a Master of Science Degree in Environmental Fluid Mechanics & Hydrology, Stanford University, and B.S. Environmental Engineering Northwestern University. She serves on the Board of Directors for Sonoma County Conservation Action and Leads the Toxic Free Future Campaign. She is a Consulting Engineer and Previously vice Chair of the Santa Rosa Board of Public Utilities and worked for the US Army Corps of Engineers for nearly 10 years. She is the Mother of two children who became involved in toxic free advocacy and policy change in an effort to protect her children from toxic pesticides in public.

2.  Dr. Harriet Fraad shares with us the definitions of Communism, Socialism and Captialism and the historical movements usng these as their banners. Dr. Fraad discusses the concept of class as is to who is producing the goods or services, who profits from the sale, and who distributes the product.  In Communism the workers producing the goods decide how to share the profit, like in Co-Operative companies in this country  owned by the employees like Alvarado Bakery.  In Capitalism the employer decides how to share the profit but often sees the employees as burdens to the profit rather than generators of profit.  In Socialism the employer must abide by regulations in sharing the profit with the employees as a form of regulated Capitalism. The government form taking on the banner of these economic systems can be democratic or dictatorial, and that is where vigilance of citizens is needed as changes are made. Dr. Fraad discusses the anti-regulation movement coming to a head under President Reagan leading to our present inequitable society.

About our Guest:   Dr. Harriet Fraad is a mental health Counselor and Hypnotherapist in private practice in New York City. She speaks regularly and writes about the intersecting crises in US relationships personal life, politics and economics. She was a founding member of the Second Wave women’s movement and has remained an activist for her entire life. She appears regularly on the radio for Economic Update, The Julianna Forlano Morning show, MK Mendoza, and Women’s Spaces. Her very latest written work appears in Knowledge, Class and Economics: Marxism, Without Guarantees (Routledge, 2019).
