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.

Featured Guest
1. Debbie McKay talks of the
100-year history of the League of Women's Voters, coming into
existence with the passage of the 19th Amendment. The Sonoma County
Chapter is 60 years old. It is that time when the League
offers candidate forums and debates, since Tuesday, November 3, is
Voting Day for California and we have County Supervisor seats and
City Council seats up for election. The League is also
offering an event called Make Your Voice Count, where candidates
hear from the public their desires. Check out the Leagues page
event schedule at
https://my.lwv.org/california/sonoma-county/electionsvoting.
The League is co-producing some events with Community Action
Partnership. Debbie informs us that the County Registrar of Voters
has arranged for Tracking of the mail-in ballots at their website,
with their program Where is my Ballot, where you can sign
up for email or text notices for when the ballot was mailed,
received and counted :
https://sonomacounty.ca.gov/CRA/Registrar-of-Voters/Vote-by-Mail/
The Registrar of Voters has also arranged for 24-hour drop boxes at
its office in Santa Rosa, as well as at the Santa Rosa Veterans
Bulding and the Petaluma Veterans Building, which can be used after
the mail-in ballots have been mailed by the Registrar's office up to
November 3.

resident of Sonoma County and has always been active in the
community. Previously she served as the treasurer and president of
the YWCA. Currently, she is the president of the League of Women
Voters, and former Chair of the League's Outreach Committee where
she taught over 60 local community members how to register citizens
to vote.
2. Delayshay Carmona Benson
was raised in a mostly white neighborhood in
Chicago and felt very much in the minority while
attending schools, and realizes through her experience
how important it is to have culturally relevant
teachers. She homeschooled her 7 children and when her
children grew up she decided that she had to be part of
the change she wanted in society and enrolled back in
school at the Santa Rosa Junior College with most
students half her age, a generation she says is ready
for change and Black Lives Matter. There are less than
2%of the JC's students that are Black, Indigenous, or
People of Color (BIPOC). Delayshay noted that
homelessness among students is about 25% with many
facing food insecurity, yet we live in a county rich
with vineyards and wineries. Delayshay shares some
of the activities she is engaged in and even
demonstrationg leadership in, such as lobbying for the
Family First Act and culturally competent staff at the
Child Protection Services.
About our Guest: Delayshay Carmona Benson
(She/ Her / Ella) is Afro- Latina who was born in
Puerto Rico and raised outside of Chicago. She wears
many hats in the community. She is Vice President of
Uplifting Black Leaders, President of Black Student
Union and the President of A.I.D.E. (Advocacy,
Inclusion, Diversity and Equity).Delayshay sits as the
Vice President of Finance on our Student Government at

Francis Perkins: (born Fannie
Coralie Perkins; April 10, 1880[1][2] – May 14, 1965)
was an American sociologist and workers-rights advocate
who served as the U.S. Secretary of Labor from 1933 to
1945, the longest serving in that position, and the
first woman appointed to the U.S. Cabinet. As a loyal
supporter of her friend, Franklin D. Roosevelt, she
helped pull the labor movement into the New Deal
coalition. She and Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes
were the only original members of the Roosevelt cabinet
to remain in office for his entire presidency.
During her term as Secretary of Labor, Perkins executed
many aspects of the New Deal, including the Civilian
Conservation Corps, the Public Works Administration and
its successor the Federal Works Agency, and the labor
portion of the National Industrial Recovery Act. With
the Social Security Act she established unemployment
benefits, pensions for the many uncovered elderly
Americans, and welfare for the poorest Americans. She
pushed to reduce workplace accidents and helped craft
laws against child labor. Through the Fair Labor
Standards Act, she established the first minimum wage
and overtime laws for American workers, and defined the
standard forty-hour work week. She formed governmental
policy for working with labor unions and helped to
alleviate strikes by way of the United States
Conciliation Service. Perkins dealt with many labor
questions during World War II, when skilled labor was
vital and women were moving into formerly male jobs.
