1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz:  Today we will be talking with our guest Karleen Arnink-Pate of Sonoma Media Investments about the Women in Conversation Series,  which on April 20 is presenting a program titled, “Call For Climate Action,” with speakers Winona LaDuke, Internationally renowned Native American activist and author of, “ To Be A Water Protector:, “The Rise of the Wiindigoo Slayers,” and Jamie Margolin Co-founder of the international youth climate justice movement, Zero Hour, and author of, “Youth to Power: Your Voice and How to Use It.”

Since joining Sonoma Media Investments Karleen has been producing the Women in Conversation Series twice a year for seven years.

On Wednesday the Series features Winona LaDuke, Native American activist who was a Green Party candidate for Vice-President, and Jamie Margolin, co-founder of Zero Hour, leader of youth climate marches and university student of Film and TV. The perspective of this youth environmental activist will be compared with that of an elder.  Karleen shares what is planned for Women in Conversation Series for July and in the Fall.
