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.

Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz

We have a new President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice-President-Elect Kamala Harris, sealed by the Electoral College, yet which withstood the withering legal challenges of over 50 lawsuits by the losing party that included support by 126 Republican Congresspersons, in spite of violating their oath to the Constitution, and a Supreme Court decision to give us confidence in the security of our democratic electoral process. The candles are being lit for Hanukah to remind Jews and non-Jews alike of the unforeseen resources that appear in times of need. And a solar eclipse of this new moon helps us appreciate how all connected we are with the universe.

Discussion with Featured Guest:

1. Shekeyna Black shares some of the ways her family is dealing with the pandemic restrictions and election shenanigans by limiting the amount of time devoted to news shows to keep the spirits up. Since the Peace and Justice Center (PJC) was such a hub of community activities, the closure of the meeting space has brought up a sense of grieving and loneliness, but hope for new vaccine developments will bring the community together physically again. In the meanwhile, the Peace Press has stopped its print edition but is available online. Audriana Jones recently joined the Board of Directors and brings experience as Dining Room Manager of St. Vincent de Paul in downtown Santa Rosa in serving the homeless and hungry. PJC is at present sponsoring a Donation Drive for the Homeless to collect sleeping bags, blankets, jackets, socks and gloves. Donation revenue has been greatly reduced, as for most non-profits, but the Center is confident that many more years will be added to its 36 year history of being present in Sonoma County. Consider becoming a member on the Donation page of the PJC website.

About our Guest: Shekeyna Black is the Executive Director of the Peace & Justice Center of Sonoma County for a year, after 2 years as their Center Coordinator. She grew up in Los Angeles County and moved to Sonoma County in 1986 to attend Sonoma State University where she earned a degree in Theatre Arts. She went on later to earn another Bachelors degree in Organizational Management and a Masters in Entertainment Business. She is passionate about music as a way to connect people from diverse backgrounds. Additionally, she has her own business called A Miracle Production that produces bands, concerts, festivals and events. She does bookings and publicity for shows at Redwood Cafe in Cotati. She is the Director of Entertainment for the publication, Upbeat Times. Shekeyna is the mother to four adult kids.
