--- Featuring Click the Name to access the Segment below 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz, Host of Women's Spaces 2a. Guest: Susan Chunco, 2023 Honoree on the Sebastopol Peace Wall 2b. Guest: Susan Lamont, 2017 Honoree on the Sebastopol Peace Wall ---- ---- 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz: I have two special guests this morning. Joining me in the studio are two longtime activists, Susan Lamont and Susan Chunco. We will be talking about their activism, what motivates them along with some updates on Nuclear Protests that are happening. Both Susan Lamont (in 2017) and Susan Chunco (in 2023) had the honor of being placed on the Sebastopol, California: Living Peace Wall. The Wall is a monument of granite panels topped by a bronze peace symbol that honors and quotes prominent nonviolence activists and social justice figures. Created by Michael Gillotti, unveiled Oct. 2015 in downtown, no-nukes self-proclaimed "Peacetown USA Sebastopol." Four names added to the wall each year. The inscription on the central granite panel of the Living Peace Wall reads as follows: We honor the peacemakers, whose names are inscribed, who have during their lives worked for peace and against war, for justice and against injustice, for nonviolent resolutions and against violence and for the common good and against selfishness and greed. Women’s Spaces is dedicated to ordinary women doing extraordinary things and both these women fit into that category and I believe it is to find out where they get their courage and inspiration which I hopes inspires all of us listening. ----
Susan Chunco (2023 Honoree) and
Susan Lamont (2017 Honoree) with 2. Our Guests, Susan Chunco and Susan Lamont, share the early influences in their lives which encouraged their activism. For Susan Lamont, it was her grandmother’s early activism in the Temperance and Women’s Suffrage movement, and her mother carried that spirit, too. Her father had also witnessed corruption while serving in the Navy and felt all the armed services were just as corrupt. She says that she is not intimidated easily. For Susan Chunco, it was her mother, who was a critical thinker, supporter of the migrants, and an early Green Party member. Both Susans became active during the Vietnam War. Susan Lamont knew and encouraged Michael Gillotti when he shared his dream for the Living Peace Wall in Sebastopol, CA. It became a reality in 2015. She became an honoree in 2017, and Susan Chunco became an honoree in 2023 at the September 9th Induction Ceremony. Susan Chunco felt embarrassed as she knows many activists not so recognized and often ignored. Susan Lamont announces some rallies to protest the war in Ukraine that is in danger of escalating to a nuclear war, which can be seen in the Announcements below.
About our Guest:
Susan Chunco first
became an activist protesting
the war in Vietnam, and in
recent years has served on the
board and as treasurer of the
Peace and Justice Center of
Sonoma County, collating the
Sonoma County Peace Press and
tabling at activists’ events for
multiple organizations. One of
the original advocates for Camp
Michela (Remembrance Village),
she continues to act as
community liaison for the local
homeless encampment. In 2023
Susan Chunco had the honor of
being placed on the Sebastopol,
CA, Living Peace Wall. About our Guest: Susan Lamont is a longtime peace and social justice activist, who is currently affiliated with Sonoma County's Green Party, Police Brutality Coalition and Veterans for Peace. She is also a writer, poet and photographer. I have to say she is an amazing writer and photographer. Susan is a regular guest and was my first guest on my television show in 2004. She was involved in helping to create the Independent Office of Law Enforcement and Outreach (LOLERO), worked diligently to get it on the ballot and it passed with over 60% of the vote and it continues to be a work in progress. In 2017 Susan Lamont had the honor of being placed on the Sebastopol, CA, Living Peace Wall. ---- Guest Links: Susan Lamont contact email: peacenik@sonic.net ---- Our history is our strength.

Herstory Birthdays: September 24, 1902 (1986) – Cheryl Crawford, independent theater producer, starting with “Johnny Johnson” in 1936, her successes included “Porgy and Bess” and “Brigadoon” in 1947. September 26, 1893 (1976) – Freda Kirchway, prolific political journalist, editor of the “Nation” (and owner 1937-55), espoused women’s concerns for birth control in the 1920s, also worked for the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. September 27, 1895 (1988) – Jennie Matyas, labor organizer and educator who emigrated from Hungarian Transylvania to Manhattan in 1906, supported equal suffrage, worked to enroll black women in the The International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU) and organized women in San Francisco.
The International Ladies'
Garment Workers' Union
(ILGWU), whose members were
employed in the women's
clothing industry, was once
one of the largest labor
unions in the United States,
one of the first US unions
to have a primarily female
membership, and a key player
in the labor history of the
1920s and 1930s. The union,
generally referred to as the
"ILGWU" or the "ILG", merged
with the Amalgamated
Clothing and Textile Workers
Union in the 1990s to form
the Union of Needletrades,
Industrial and Textile
Employees (UNITE). UNITE
merged with the Hotel
Employees and Restaurant
Employees Union (HERE) in
2004 to create a new union
known as UNITE HERE. The two
unions that formed UNITE in
1995 represented 250,000
workers between them, down
from the ILGWU's peak
membership of 450,000 in
1969. The union published Justice in Jersey City, New Jersey. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Ladies_Garment_Workers_Union September 29, 1839 (1898) – Frances Willard as president of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), the largest organization of women in the U.S. in the 19th century, turned the organization into a political force working on a broad array of social reforms including women’s rights, social justice, and world peace. September 30, 1875 (1951) – Anne Martin, helped win equal suffrage in Nevada, western suffrage leader, became first woman to run for the U.S. Senate in 1918 ---
