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.

Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz, Host

The last week brought the presidential election to a day of infamy in our nation's history, an armed insurrection and a near take over of our nation's capitol through the President inciting a riot by his supporters. The insurrection scenes were available live to see by the world, as angry people shouted for the death of the Vice-President for daring to cross the will of the President, as well as for the heads of Democratic leaders of the House in the process of counting the electoral votes. Costumed rioters carrying symbols and flags of White nationalist, confederate, Pro-Police/anti-Black Lives Matter, anti-Jewish Holocaust deniers, amidst those of Christianity. The noticeable lack of police presence contrasted with the heavy handed police and national guard called out when Black Live Matter protests erupted six months earlier. We have much work to do to bring peace and justice to our country.

The Sonoma County Climate Action Network's Summit yesterday (Sunday) via Zoom was quite interesting and educational. We took a lot of notes. Check out their website at https://www.sonomacountycan.org/ , and maybe make a donation to help defray expenses of the summit. We featured an interview on 12/28/2020 with Maya Khosla of SoCoCAN.

And remember the Peace and Justice Center's Warm Clothes and blankets for the Houseless Donation Drive that occurs every Tuesday.

Discussion with Featured Guest:

1. Regina Brennan talks about the mission of Sonoma County Black Forum: to Lead, Serve, and Thrive! The Black Forum Is guiding the intellectual discourse and dialog to consider the African-American experience. Its goal is to support our region's youth and our community by creating opportunities to train, learn, develop twenty-first century skills, and foster agency within Sonoma County and the surrounding Bay Area. .

About our Guest: Regina Brennan decided to retire from the Santa Rosa City School District After nearly 30 years as a classroom teacher in 2017. Her teaching career began at George Washington Middle School in Long Beach CA where she was Teacher of the Year in1993 and ended at Santa Rosa High School where for 18 years she taught a variety of World History classes. Retirement means developing her small gardening business, learning Spanish, spending more time with her family, and trying to stay relevant during uncertain times. Regina, along with a small group of educators and activists, created the Sonoma County Black Forum in August 2017 to support our youth and the community.

2. Tina Rogers invites us to the annual Sonoma County Martin Luther King, jr. Birthday Celebration, held this year on Sunday January 17th via Zoom. The theme this year is: “Where do we go from here: Chaos or community?” Donzaleigh Abernathy, daughter of of civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy, is the guest speaker. Tina explains how the Civil Rights Act is so important as it made possible the Voting Rights Act. She reminds us of his words: Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.

About our Guest: Tina Rogers is a native of Sonoma County. Tina has devoted her life in trying to understand this beautiful planet, the humans and the other species that share our world. A true humanitarian is what she represents, thorough research, education, and communication with other cultures allows her to see the "big picture." While attending UC Davis, she turned her passion for the arts, fitness and wellness into a popular example of master teaching not only to children but people of all ages.
She is a role model who truly enjoys using arts education and fitness, as tools to “crack-the-code” in child development that lasts a lifetime.
