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. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz:
This is the last Monday of the
month, and we will be
doing, “The “Women’s Spaces
Pledge.”
I attended the Women in
Conversation event, “Call for
Climate Action,” and was
thrilled to hear from Winona La
Duke and Jamie Margolin. On last
week's show we interviewed the
producer of the event,Karleen
Arnink-Pate. 40
years separate them in age but
Climate Change has affected them
both to be so concern to become
active in their youth, Batons
seem to be passing from the old
to the new, as you will be
hearing through our guests
today, one a witness to the
first Earth Day and its
precursor by 2 months the
Survival Faire, and two as youth
active in the Sunrise Movement.
Friday April 22 was Earth Day.
Earth Day honors Rachel Carson,
a woman who changed America and
influenced the environmental
movement with her revolutionary
book, Silent Spring.
Silent Spring is an
environmental science book by
Rachel Carson. The book was
published on September 27, 1962,
documenting the adverse
environmental effects caused by
the indiscriminate use of
pesticides. The theme for Earth
Day 2022 is, “Invest in Our
Planet.”

2.
Our co-producer, Ken
Norton shares how he
participated as a 22-year-old
undergraduate student in the
Survival Faire
at San Jose State College in
February 1970, at which a new
car was buried to draw attention
to the environment and over
population. The automobile was
an icon for Americans at the
time, so its burying had quite a
deep impact. Rachel Carlson's
book Silent Spring and
Paul Ehrlich's book
Population Bomb were on the
participants' mind. The event
drew the attention of the New
York Times and was a precursor
to the first annual Earth Day by
two months. Over 50 years have
passed and now the youth have
become conscious of the Climate
Change at the high school level.
About our Interviewee: Ken
Norton Is co-producer
of Women's Spaces. He has earned
his BS in Materials Science &
Engineering (MSE) from San Jose
State University, where he had
started Engineers for Awareness
club to discuss the
environmental and war issues at
the time, and MS in MSE from
Stanford University. Ken
collaborated with his mentor
William Hermanns (PhD, Prof.em.)
in the editing and publishing of
Hermanns' English and German
books and poetry from 1970 until
his death in 1990. He set up a
website in his mentor's honor at
www.williamhermanns.com .
Ken has recently broadcast over
radio a series of 5-minute
vignettes called the Scent
of Light, which are
archived. He lives with his
partner Elaine B. Holtz in Santa
Rosa.
3. Our guests,
Amy Cohen and Rachel
Cohen, are twins
attending West County High
School and co-hub coordinators
of the youth-led Sunrise
Movement in Sonoma
County. They both share what
caused them to become active for
Climate Justice. The wildfire
destruction of thousands of
homes in Sonoma County in 2017,
and the years succeeding with
more drought and wildfires,
together with the Climate Change
denial from the former
Whitehouse administration,
galvanized their resolve to
become part of the Sunrise
Movement and help plan the
actions to educate the public.
Amy states that the youth are
not bound by political
feasibility as they express
their needs for an equitable and
just path to Climate correction.
Rachel feels we have the
opportunity for radical change
like switching to 100% renewable
energy, as we are all affected,
as the wildfires across the
country and globe have
demonstrated. Both Rachel and
Amy encourage the creation of
green jobs and a California
version of the Green New Deal,
as well as upgrading the public
transit to help reduce the
greenhouse gas emissions, of
which automobiles account for
60%.
About our guest: Amy Cohen
(they/she) is a junior at West
County High School and the other
co-hub coordinator of Sunrise
Sonoma County. They have been
involved with the Sunrise
Movement for approximately two
years, and, along with their
twin sister Rachel, have helped
to plan several actions in the
Bay Area calling for a bold
Civilian Climate Corps. They
have also been a junior
commissioner on the Junior
Commission on the Status of
Women.
About our guest: Rachel Cohen
is a junior at West County high
school in Sebastopol and runs a
local activist group, Sunrise
Sonoma County, with her twin,
Amy. Having been in Sunrise
since the start of Covid, when a
combination of spare time, fear
around fires, and a persistent
sister pushed her to pursue
activism, she has gained skills
by filling a variety of needed
positions in the hub, her
favorite being a trainer. Rachel
has organized several actions in
the Bay Area to pressure elected
officials to support bold and
equitable climate action,
including a 266-mile march from
Paradise to San Francisco
focused on winning a progressive
Civilian Climate Corps and
multiple rallies outside the
offices of elected officials.
April 22 – Earth Day, honor
Rachel Carson today, a woman who
changed America and influenced
the environmental movement with
her revolutionary book, Silent
Spring.
April 26, 1777 – American
Revolution heroine Sybil
Ludington, 16 years old, rides

middle of the night to warn the
American militia that the
British were invading.
Herstory Birthdays:
April 27, 1927 (2006) –
Coretta Scott King, civil
rights, human rights, and
peace activist. She was also
the wife of Dr. Martin
