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:
Our Thanksgiving family
gathering was wonderful and
extremely heart felt. We have a
tradition, something I started
with my family years ago, going
around the table and saying what
we were thankful for. There was
so much gratitude and openness
that I truly felt the Great
Spirit, the Great Mystery, was
alive and well. On the air today
I wanted to add one more thing.
I am so grateful to be on the
air and for the support I have
received. A special thank you to
co-producer
and engineer Ken Norton who is
at my side every Monday morning
to make sure we have all our
ducks in order along with making
sure we are set up for the 11pm
replay. We record live here at
KBBF 89.1FM and a special thank
you to Edgar Avila for being
such a great program manager and
to President Alicia Sanchez and
her board for keeping us on the
air. November marks 10 years
since I have come back to radio
and want to thank all of you
listeners for listening.
2. Our
first guest Laura Tredinnick
talks about the American
Association of University Women
(AAUW), a national organization
founded in 1881 to advocate
equity for women and girls,
lifelong education, and positive
societal change. Laura
emphasized the mission of the
Healdsburg chapter: "We change
lives," that happens through
volunteers. Elementary school
students are tutored to learn to
read, and girls entering the 8th
Grade are selected to attend a
Tech Trek camp for activities in
science, technology,
engineering, and math (STEM).
High School students are exposed
to a variety of careers, and
college scholarships are made
available in the senior year.
Scholarships are also available
for women reentering college.
Men and women can join AAUW, and
there are no barriers to full
participation in AAUW based on
gender, race, creed, sexual
orientation, disability, or
class. The chapter also has many
social groups in hiking, Bridge,
and current affairs. Sonoma
County has 3 AAUW chapters:
Healdsburg, Santa Rosa, and
Petaluma.
About our
First Guest:
Laura
Tredinnick is a
lifelong Sonoma County resident.
She had a 30-year career in
Information Technology, with the
City of Santa Rosa, spending the
last 20 years as Information
Technology Manager. After she
retired, she spent the next five
years consulting with various
government organizations in the
information technology field.She
has served on the boards of Big
Brothers Big Sisters, The
Friends of Alexander Valley
Hall, and the Alexander Valley
Ladies Aid, and was a mentor
through the SAY program for teen
mothers. She has been a member
of the American Association of
University Women for 30 years
and is currently President of
the Healdsburg chapter.
3. Our second guest Katrina
Phillips, upset with
the police response to the
2020 protests of the killing of
George Floyd, asked
Supervisor Shirley Zane to be
appointed to the Commission for
Human Rights (CHR) and was
granted the request. She was
able to do something
constructive for the community
instead of just being angry.
With Kathleen Finigan, who
recently passed away, she
updated the mission statement of
CHR to read:
Mission
The County of Sonoma Commission
on Human Rights provides
leadership, education, and
advocacy to ensure all members
of our community, especially
those among us who are
marginalized, disadvantaged, or
whose rights are being violated,
enjoy the full range of human
rights to which every person is
entitled.
Katrina is proud of the the
recent Chair of CHR Dimitra
Smith, who helped write the
recent California Law
Enforcement Accountability
Reform Act (CLEAR Act) that
requires law enforcement
agencies to screen applicants
for ties to hate groups and
makes it easier to fire any
officer with such ties. Katrina
is especially advocating that
warming centers be opened when
the temperatures dip below 50°F
instead of 32°F to protect the
lives of the homeless. There are
commissioner vacant seats in
District 1 (contact Supervisor
Susan Gore) and in District 4
(contact Supervisor James Gore).
The Junior Commission on Human
Rights is accepting applications
for 2022-2023.
About our
Second Guest:
Katrina
Phillips is the Chair
of Sonoma County Commission on
Human Rights, a member of The
Human Trafficking Task Force, a
volunteer with Fire Pet Rescue
and Reunification since 2017, a
writer, a poet and in her
previous life was a professional
Actress, appearing in plays and
improvisations. Her most notable
film was with RuPaul: But
I'm a Cheerleader.
November 28, 1881 – The first
organizational meeting is held
for the predecessor group to the
American Association of
University Women (AAUW). Listen
to our first guest Laura
Tredinnick talk about the AAUW.
Herstory Birthdays:
November 30, 1924 (2005) –
Shirley Chisolm
Who Was Shirley Chisolm?
Shirley Anita Chisholm
November 30, 1924 – January
1, 2005) was an American
politician who in 1968
became the first black woman
elected to the United States
Congress.[1] Chisholm
represented New York's 12th
congressional district, a
district centered on
Bedford–Stuyvesant,[a] for
seven terms from 1969 to
1983. In 1972, she became
the first black candidate
for a major-party nomination
for President of the United
States, and the first woman
to run for the Democratic
Party's nomination. She
received 151 delegate votes
at the Democratic Convention
in 1972.
Born in Brooklyn, New York,
she spent ages five through
nine in Barbados, and always
considered herself a
Barbadian American. She
excelled at school and
earned her college degree in
the United
States. She started working
in early childhood education
and became involved in local
Democratic Party politics in
the 1950s. In 1964,
overcoming some resistance
because she was a woman, she
was elected to the New York
State Assembly. Four years
later, she was elected to
Congress, where she led the
expansion of food and
nutrition programs for the
poor and rose to party
leadership. She retired from
Congress in 1983 and taught
at Mount Holyoke College
while continuing her
political organizing.
Although nominated for an
ambassadorship in 1993,
health issues caused her to
withdraw. In 2015, Chisholm
was posthumously awarded the
Presidential Medal of
Freedom.
