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.

1Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz We originally scheduled to be in conversation with Mary Norman about two of the most revered women in Christianity, Mary mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, disciple of Jesus. However, our phone connection failed, and we needed to enter improvisation mode. Today, December 12th, the Virgin of Guadalupe is celebrated by Catholics. The day has been declared a national holiday in Mexico. Devotees honor the day when Virgin Mary made an appearance to a young man on this day in 1531. Even though it is a national holiday, most companies and organizations organize masses and feasts for their employees.

I am reading some of my poems to keep in this spirit of the Prince of Peace, who is celebrated this Christmas season, and mix in songs with this in mind.

 Herstory

Our history is our strength. Check out important dates to remember in herstory at the National Women's History Alliance

National Women's History Alliance

Herstory Events:

December 14, 1961 – President’s Commission on the Status of Women is established to examine discrimination against women and ways to eliminate it.

December 14, 1985 – Wilma Mankiller is sworn in as principal chief of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma – the first woman in modern history to lead a major Native American tribe.

December 17, 1993 – Judith Rodin is named president of Univ. of Pennsylvania, the first woman to head an Ivy League institution.

Herstory Birthdays: 

December 14, 1897 (1995) – Margaret Chase Smith, first woman elected to both houses of Congress (R-ME), serving 8 years in the House of Representatives and twenty-four in the Senate, first in Senate to challenge Senator Joseph McCarthy’s anti-communist crusade.

December 16, 1844 (1928) – Fanny Garrison Villard, suffragist, and philanthropist, provided financial support for certified milk and wholesome food in Diet Kitchen, provided funds for Barnard College, Radcliffe College, and Hampton Institute, supported peace and woman suffrage with street speeches and parades, collaborated with the Women’s Peace Party.

Woman’s Peace Party (WPP), American organization that was established as a result of a three-day peace meeting organized by Jane Addams and other feminists in response to the beginning of World War I in Europe in 1914. The conference, held in January 1915 in Washington, D.C., brought together women from diverse organizations who unanimously agreed on most issues under discussion, including the call for limitation of arms, mediation of the European conflict, and the removal of the economic causes of war. The peace and suffrage movements were definitively united when a plank calling for the vote for women was successfully added to the party platform.
December 16, 1901 (1978) – Margaret Mead, renowned cultural anthropologist, author, lecturer. Famous for the quote “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

The National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) was an organization formed on February 18, 1890, to advocate in favor of women's suffrage in the United States. It was created by the merger of two existing organizations, the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) and the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA).
