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.

1. Commentary
by our host Elaine B. Holtz:
Joining me in the studio this morning, our first guests
in the studio since March 2020, will be Sonoma County
District Attorney Jill Ravitch, the first woman
District Attorney in Sonoma County and we will be
talking about the recent recall and the Family Justice
Centers which she supported.
Joining Jill will be Director of the Family Justice
Center, Marsha Lucien. She will be sharing information
on the services available at the Center and how they
were able to provide services during these challenging
times.
Here is a bit of trivia for you animal lovers, October 4
the Blessing of the Animals Day - (Also known as Feast
of St. Francis of Assisi).
On Saturday October 2nd, there were nationwide events
answering the call of the Women's March to Defend and
Mobilize for Reproduction Rights. Much was happening all across the
country in protest of the Texas Abortion Ban and in
support of the John Lewis voting rights bill, “For The
Peoples Act, “ Shout out to the Santa Rosa Democratic
Club President Janet Reynold and Sonoma County
Democratic Party Chair, Pat Sabo and all of those who
helped put the local Women's Rally in Santa Rosa
together. Special recognition for the National
Organization for Women (NOW) Sonoma County Chapter for
being out there helping and getting folks involved. It
was an amazing event. I had the honor of speaking at the
event, got to do the Women's Spaces Pledge, and was well
received. My co-producer Ken Norton filmed the speech
and has uploaded it to our
Youtube channel for Women's Spaces. It can be seen
below:

2. Our
first guest Jill Ravitch, our District Attorney
for Sonoma County,opens up on how the
Recall campaign funded by one rich resident affected her
and why her capturing 80% of the vote is good news that
Sonoma County residents could recognize the costly
revenge. Jill remembers that on her first run for
DA against the incumbent she won by only 1,700 votes, so
yes, every vote does matter. She is now serving her
third term as District Attorney. Jill put her full
support behind the Family Justice Center, newly founded
in August 2011, as a wraparound interagency effort to
simplify for the victim of domestic violence, sexual
assault, or human trafficking to receive help from the
various programs. Ten years later the same partners are
still offering services to these survivors. There is no
cost to the victims for meeting with the advocates for
needed clothes, food, transportation, safe houses,
vouchers for housing and fuel. Jill recently was
in Zambia, invited to help them set up Child Advocacy
Centers. Jill announced that she will not run for a
fourth term but will spend her remaining time serving
the needs of justice in our county.
About our Guest:Jill Ravitch, the Sonoma County
District Attorney, is the first female D.A. in our
county and has served in that capacity since 2011. She
is now completing her third term. Jill has had many
successes during her tenure:
She opened the Family Justice Center to help victims of
abuse, whether they be children, elders, or other family
members. Jill's office leads the human trafficking task
force, and she serves in an advisory role on a number of
boards. Jill Ravitch is an adjunct professor teaching
criminal law to first year students at Empire Law
School.
She attended add UC Berkeley, and in 1987 received her
Law Degree from University of San Francisco Law School.
3. Our
second guest Marsha Lucien is the new Executive
Director of the Family Justice Center. Marsha shares her
path to this leadership position. Her years as a
probation officer impressed upon her the need to help
families. She believes in treating the victims coming to
the center as wholistic person, not just one facet.
All residents of Sonoma County, documented or not, are
eligible for services, that are confidential and free of
cost. Marsha already has led a group of children of
survivors of domestic abuse on a camping trip to help
with their relationship building. Marsha announces
that this Wednesday, October 6, 2021, from 3 to 6 pm,
the Family Justice Center will be having an Open House
at their physical location at 2755 Mendocino Avenue,
Santa Rosa, to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of
Providing an Umbrella of Hope. This is free and open to
the public and all are invited.
About our Guest:Marsha Lucien is the newly appointed
Executive Director of the Family Justice Center.
Marsha is a seasoned non-profit professional who has
worked with many of our community's most vulnerable
populations. Before switching to the nonprofit sector,
Lucien worked as a Probation Officer for about a decade
in Solano and Alameda counties.
Ms. Lucien holds an MBA from the University of Phoenix
and is using her experience in philanthropy and the
public sector to lead the FJC into a new and dynamic
period in service for survivors upholding the simple but
impactful message, “We Believe Survivors.” Ms. Lucien is
a California native and mother of two who has recently
made Santa Rosa her home and is committed to making sure
the survivors of Sonoma County are protected and heard.
