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.

October 21, 2024, our host Elaine B. Holtz comments:
Elaine welcomes Dr. Andrea
Hall-Miller, PhD, RN, freelance writer, and Director of
Community Engagement for the North Bay Black Chamber of
Commerce. They discuss Andrea's journey from nurse to author and
their experience at the Diversity Business Awards. Elaine also
celebrates her grandson Ryan Jensen’s birthday, highlighting his
traits as an Earth Dragon. She reminds listeners to vote,
emphasizing the importance of participating in democracy. Elaine
encourages early voting and mentions an upcoming interview with
Deva Marie Proto, Sonoma County’s Registrar of Voters, for
information on voting ahead of Election Day, November 5th.
Our
Guest, Dr. Andrea Hall,
joins Elaine B. Holtz to discuss
the mixed feelings evoked by the
song The House I Live In.
As a Black woman, Andrea
appreciates its idealistic
portrayal of America but
contrasts it with the realities
of racial injustice. She shared
that her son-in-law rejects the
label "African American,"
identifying only as American.
Elaine, reflecting on her Jewish
heritage, highlights differences
in racial experiences. Both
agree that America’s ideals of
equality are still evolving.
Andrea also shares insights from
her nonfiction book Wake Up!
about transforming one’s life,
outlining four steps for
achieving joy. Dr. Hall offers
personal coaching for
self-discovery and
transformation.

I

Sonoma County League of Women
Voters, Donna Roper dash
president and Lynn Dooley who is
a board member in charge of pros
and cons of the Sonoma County
chapter. They will be giving us
a bit of history about the
league and talk about some of
the upcoming events to help us
all make informed choices when
we vote on November 5th.
Lynn will be sharing the pros
and cons of propositions 33, 34
and 35. Ken and I are looking
forward to what they are going
to say. What I appreciate about
the League of Women Votersis
that they give us the pros and
cons to help us make an informed
decision, not on just these
propositions, but other
propositions and local measures
as well.
Today is Indigeneous Peoples
Day. People have gathered today
for an early morning
ceremongy at Alcatraz.
Our
Guests, Donna Roper and Lynn
Dooley, officers in
Sonoma County League of Woment
Voters,share the
history of the League. LWV offers Candidate

On Monday's show of
September 23, 2024, our host Elaine B. Holtz comments:
Joining me will be Judy Armstrong, founder
of We Are the Women, advocating for women and allies to vote in the
2024 election. The group urges action beyond voting, encouraging
door-knocking, canvassing, and more. We'll discuss their latest
video, We Are the Women, inspired by the iconic song We Are the
World, and how it reflects today's issues.
Additionally, heartfelt condolences to
the family of Martin Joseph Hamilton who managed the Arlene
Frances Center.
Happy birthday wishes to my dear
friends, Nancy Rogers, a leader in activism, and Susan Chunco, a
dedicated community activist. Both are inspiring figures in our
community.
Our
Guest, Judy Armstrong's
passion for women’s rights began
at Northwestern University,
where discussions centered on
societal challenges. Gloria
Steinem's Ms. magazine and the
introduction of birth control
during her college years were
pivotal for women. Judy recalls
significant milestones like
women gaining access to charge
cards, sparking debates about
changing last names, joint bank
accounts, and illegal abortions.
Inspired by these experiences,
she co-founded the “We
Are the Women” project,
encouraging women to vote and
defend their rights. The
initiative, developed with her
friend David and Planned
Parenthood veteran Joyce Lisbon,
produced a reimagined song, "We
Are the Women" to go viral on
social media in just five
months. Their accompanying
website WAGAVote.com
(We Are Great Already Vote)
encourages getting out the vote
with a link to register to
vote..

On Monday's show of
September 16, 2024, our host Elaine B. Holtz comments:
Diana Carpenter Madoshi, who has spent
over 20 years focused on women's issues, joins me to discuss the
Silent Sentinels event on October 5 and her continued
contributions. We also talked about the recent debate between
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, where Harris was prepared and
clear, while Trump's responses seemed more like opinions, often
lacking substance. I urge listeners to watch the debate on
YouTube and to research Project 2025, a concerning plan linked
to Trump’s former administration. Our vote is crucial in
preserving democracy, so it’s important to stay informed and
cast your ballot.
Our
Guest, Diana
Carpenter Madoshi,
reflects on her ongoing activism
in women’s rights and democratic
freedoms, drawing inspiration
from civil rights leaders like
Fannie Lou Hamer. She warns
against complacency as current
struggles for equality,
particularly voting rights, echo
past fights. Diana emphasizes
the critical role women play as
voters, honoring historical
sacrifices for suffrage. She
references the
Silent Sentinel
movement, encouraging
participation in their
October 5th action,
which urges Americans to vote,
symbolizing the suffragists'
struggle. Diana reminds us that
Democracy is not a spectator
sport and that voting is a right
earned through immense sacrifice
and urges everyone to engage in
the political process.

On Monday's show of
September 9, 2024, our host Elaine B. Holtz comments:
I have a special guest for this morning.
Jodie Evans, co-founder, and board member of CODEPINK, has been
a peace, environmental, women's rights, and social justice
activist for fifty years. Jodie will be talking about her recent
book, The Local Peace Economy, which will cover local peace
economy strategies. She will also share her experiences and
insights about her visits to Gaza in Palestine.
Our
Guest, Jodie Evans, a
longtime peace activist since the 1960s, has protested wars like
the 1991 Iraq War, driven by disbelief at U.S. invasions based
on false claims. She connects U.S. foreign wars to domestic
violence, arguing both harm marginalized communities. Jodie
emphasizes women's crucial role in activism, highlighting
Code Pink, the organization she co-founded,
which opposes militarization and Israeli occupation in
Palestine. In her new book Local
Peace Economy, she advocates for a "peace economy"
rooted in community care and urges a shift from the
destructive "war economy" and has moved nearly $2 billion into
peace economy projects, mainly led by Black and Indigenous
communities.

Today is Labor Day and joining me in the
studio is Lisa Maldonado, Labor Representative for the
California Nurses Association. Lisa has an extensive background
in labor relations and union organizing and we will be talking
about the history of Labor Day and her involvement in labor
relations. She will be joined by Caroline Banuelos, a member of
the CSEIU union and a member of the Board of Trustees of Santa
Rosa Junior College.
Special Happy Birthday to my beautiful
Great Grand Daughter Satori Trinity Jensen who turns six on
September 6. I can hardly believe six years have passed and here
she is playing soccer and in kindergarten. I am grateful to have
lived long enough to be a Great Grandmother.
Our
first
Guest Ana Salgado
shares her journey
from
Oaxaca, in southern Mexico, to El Norte, the USA. She saved up
some money to make the long trip to a new country, she hoped to
call her own. However the road to citizenship is complicated by
our Immigration Laws that are overdue for reform. Therefore, Ana
joined the march and rally in Washington, DC last month to lobby
our representatives in the House and Senate for immigration
reform, sharing their personal stories with the elected
officials.
Our Second
Guests, Lisa Maldonado and
Caroline Banuelos, discussed their journeys in union
and community activism, highlighting the influence of their
grandmothers and ancestors. Caroline, proudly wearing her SEIU
shirt, spoke about her father's lifelong union commitment and
ongoing benefits. She also mentioned efforts to unionize student
workers at Sonoma State University. Lisa shared her labor
activism experiences and family impact. Both noted the
resurgence in union support among young workers driven by
dissatisfaction with income inequality. They countered
misconceptions linking unions to socialism, stressing their role
in advocating for fair treatment and human rights. Elaine
emphasized Labor Day’s significance for a strong Middle Class
and urged support for union efforts and vote.

On Monday March 5, 2018,
Elaine interviewed
Gloria Allred,
who shares her journey from teacher to
attorney advocating for
women's rights for 40 years. Gloria talks of
what sustains her in her committment to social change.
Gloria's hope is that this year will be known as the Year of Empowerment for
Women, and she certainly is a mentor as she confronts rich and
powerful men Harvey Weinstein, Judge Roy Moore, Bill Cosby, O.J.
Simpson and even the President Bill Clinton of the United States as she
represents courageous but hurt women.
On Monday June 15, 2020
Gloria Allred returned for a second visit to Women's Spaces
to talks about her friend and client Norma McCorvey, the
"Jane Roe" whose unwanted pregnancy led to the 1973 case
that legalized abortion nationwide, Roe v. Wade, who is
portrayed with her "deathbed confession" in the FX film aka Jane Roe,
of switching from the volunteer and unpaid poster child of
the Pro-Choice movement to become the
paid-with-over-$450,000 poster child of the Pro-Life of
Fetus movement Operation Rescue. Ms. Allred asserts, as does
Norma in her confession that she was always Pro-Choice.
Erin Brockovich
was our second guest on the show ,
of July 9, 2018.
Erin shares her story on becoming one of the
most successful consumer activists in taking on PG&E in Hinkley, CA,
in 1993, about which a movie was made called Erin Brockovich.
Erin encourages us to break free from the box of other's
expectations and to develop the self-esteem needed for the
long and persistent fight for justice. Erin comes to Sonoma
County to help those who were victims of last October wildfire storm
that appears to have been sparked by PG&E's negligent behaviour
in
protecting their equipment from nearby brush and trees as required
as a public utility. Erin warns of legislation that would shield
PG&E from accountability in future wildfire disasters in California,
inspite of the corporation's vast wealth.
