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 of Women's Spaces

1. Elaine talks about Black History Month and some women that are inspirational in their struggle for freedom: Harriet Tubman, as portrayed in the film Harriet, is credited with freeing over 90 Blacks from slavery, and Fannie Lou Hamer, a sharecropper, who after discovering at the age of 44 of the right to vote joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the struggle to register to vote. We play a recording of Fannie Lou Hamer and commentary done by Peoples TV.

V-Day (Februry 14th) and annual reading of the Vagina Monologues will be online this year.

Remember, this Thursday February 18th from 6:30 - 8:00 pm via Zoom is the County Chapter's NOW meeting with a special presentation on Black History Month and talks by the newest City Councilwomen elected in November in Sonoma County. See the Announcements below for further description.
