--- Featuring Click the Name to access the Segment below 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz, Host of Women's Spaces 2. Guest Amie Windsor Publisher, Sonoma County Gazette ---- ---- 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz: My heart goes out to the families and loved ones killed or wounded in the Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs. Again, and again, a mass shooting by a disgruntled soul with access to automatic weapons meant for war in the headlines. The 2nd Amendment was not meant for such outcomes in society. The Thanksgiving Holiday is upon us, and we remember that it was Native Americans who graciously saved the English immigrants from starving. Every year since 1975 on Thanksgiving there is an Indigenous People's Sunrise Gathering at Alcatraz by San Francisco. See our Announcements if you are interested in attending.
In Memoriam for
Elaine's mother Betty Holtz
born on November 20. 1910.
Trees by Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918) I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. Source: https://poets.org/poem/trees 2. Our guest Amie Windsor shares her path to journalism and gigs with local papers in the county until her appointment as Publisher of the Sonoma County Gazette, that was purchased by locally owned Sonoma Media Investments after 20 years under its founder Vesta Copestakes. Amie took over the Gazette as the pandemic raged, while raising her two daughters with her husband. That taught her about the need for self-care, as she had to take a sabbatical. Her goal was to "do right by Vesta Copestakes." All the columnists for each of the towns and hamlets in Sonoma County are volunteers, who write about their own local communities, bringing their own creativity and flavor to writing the monthly columns. Amie praised her webmaster Roger Coryell, who arranges all the monthly print articles on the website. Amie encourages young women with a notion of writing to just go for it. About our Guest: Amie Windsor is the Publisher of the Sonoma County Gazette the monthly newspaper distributed to more than 25,000 readers across Sonoma County. Your mission? To build community, educate and share compassion. She has a strong background in editing, research, and freelance reporting. Prior to coming to the Gazette Amie was a reporter for the Independent Coast Observer in Gualala, CA and in 2017-19 she was a Field Representative the County of Sonoma Board of Supervisor Lynda Hopkins.

Herstory Birthdays: November 17, 1923 (1988) – Ruth Bleier, trained in neuroanatomy in 1961, worked with Maryland Committee for Peace, lost hospital privileges when she refused to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, studied differences in brain structure between males and females at University of Wisconsin, involved with Women’s Studies from 1975. November 18, 1945 (2010) – Wilma Mankiller, first female Chief of the Cherokee Nation, 1985-95.
Who Was Wilma Mankiller?
In 1985, Wilma Mankiller became the first female principal chief of the Cherokee Nation. She sought to improve the nation’s health care, education system and government. She decided not to seek re-election in 1995 due to ill health. After leaving office, Mankiller remained an activist for Native American and women's rights until her death, on April 6, 2010, in Adair County, Oklahoma. Source: https://www.biography.com/activist/wilma-mankiller November 20, 1896 (1965) – Rose Pesotta, union organizer and first woman vice president of the International Ladies Garment Worker Union, 1934.
The International Ladies’
Garment Workers’ Union
(ILGWU) was one of the
largest labor unions in the
United States in the 1900s.
It represented hundreds of
thousands of clothing
industry workers, most of
them women. Two successful
strikes in 1909 and 1910 won
power for the union.
Members and their allies pushed for new laws to protect organized labor. They gained broad support after the devastating Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in 1911. By the 1920s, the ILGWU was a political heavyweight. Clara Lemlich galvanized a crowd of workers meeting at Cooper Union. She climbed up to the speakers’ platform and declared: “I have no further patience for talk. I am a working girl, one of those striking against intolerable conditions. I am tired of listening to speakers who talk in generalities. … I make a motion that we go out in a general strike.” In the 1990s, the ILGWU merged with the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union to form the new Union of Needle trades, Industrial and Textile Employees (UNITE), now UNITE HERE.
