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.

Specials
On Monday March 5, 2018,
Elaine interviewed
Gloria Allred,
who shares her journey from teacher to
attorney advocating for
women's rights for 40 years. Gloria talks of
what sustains her in her committment to social change.
Gloria's hope is that this year will be known as the Year of Empowerment for
Women, and she certainly is a mentor as she confronts rich and
powerful men Harvey Weinstein, Judge Roy Moore, Bill Cosby, O.J.
Simpson and even the President of the United States as she
represents courageous but hurt women.
Erin Brockovich
was our second guest on Monday's show of 7/9/18,
. Erin shares her story on becoming one of the
most successful consumer activists in taking on PG&E in Hinkley, CA,
in 1993, about which a movie was made called Erin Brockovich.
Erin encourages us to break free from the box of other's
expectations and to develop the self-esteem needed for the
long and persistent fight for justice. Erin comes to Sonoma
County to help those who were victims of last October wildfire storm
that appears to have been sparked by PG&E's negligent behaviour
in
protecting their equipment from nearby brush and trees as required
as a public utility. Erin warns of legislation that would shield
PG&E from accountability in future wildfire disasters in California,
inspite of the corporation's vast wealth.
