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.

Our Featured Guests

1. Jenny Blaker shares her path to activism from cleaning the creeks by her home in Cotati that feed the Laguna to realizing the environmental danger of a new station on 116 at Stoneypoint to the Laguna, and then to joining with other concerned citizens in Sonoma County to oppose the building of any new gasoline stations. The Coalition Opposing New Gas Stations (CONGAS) held a protest the morning of this broadcast at a proposed new gas station on Middle Rincon Road at Highway 12. CONGAS does not want any more fossil fuel infrastructure to be built because of the increasing impact of Climate Change resulting from fossil fuel use.

About our Guest: Jenny Blaker spent her childhood in India and before moving to Cotati twenty four years ago with her husband she lived in England. She earned her MA degree in Conservation Psychology from SSU’s "Action for a Viable Future" program. She is active with CONGAS and other local groups and issues including Sonoma Solidarity with Standing Rock, and advocating for pedestrian and bicycle safety and connectivity. She is active with CONGAS and other local groups and issues including Sonoma Solidarity with Standing Rock, and advocating for pedestrian and bicycle safety and connectivity. For several years Jenny was Outreach Coordinator of a habitat restoration group, Cotati Creek Critters, whose mission was to engage the local community in planting native trees and shrubs along the Laguna de Santa Rosa in Cotati, and encouraging a sense of environmental stewardship.

This Week in Herstory

A larger Compilation is at the National Women's History Alliance

February 27, 1897 (1993) – Marian Anderson, opera singer, first African-American member of the New York Metropolitan Opera (1955).

February 28, 1898 (1992) – Molly Picon, Yiddish actress, performed around the world beginning with “Baby Margaret” at age 5, entertained troops in Korea and Japan during World War II, renowned for her somersaults and flips well into her seventies, wrote one-woman show, “Hello, Molly” (1979), and an autobiography, Molly (1980)

Black History Month - Herstory

Daisy Bates was a complex, unconventional and largely forgotten heroine of the civil rights movement who led the charge to desegregate the all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., in 1957.

Dr. Alexa Canady became the first Black woman neurosurgeon in the U.S. in 1981, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. She helped save thousands of lives — mostly children, according to Changing the Face of Medicine — during her 20-year career. Her home state of Michigan recognized her milestones by inducting her into the Woman's Hall of Fame in 1989, and she was named Teacher of the Year by the Children's Hospital of Michigan.
