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.

1. Commentary by our host Elaine B. Holtz:  Today is the birthday of my Grandson Ryan Irwin Jensen, who is about to become a father for the second time. Happy Birthday Ryan! I love you dearly and wish you always the best life has to offer. It was Ryan who inspired The Women’s Spaces Pledge and it is amazing to think he is going to be a father for the second time.

2. Our guest Sandy Rapp shares her path to activism for Sandy Rappfeminist and lesbian rights.  Listening to Sandy and her songs, one learns of the history, as she memorializes feminist, lesbian and gay activists and their names in her songs.  Veteran Feminist Bella Abzug (D-NY) accompanies her on her best known song Remember Rose: Song for Choice.  The recent laws restricting women's right to choose to refuse or have an abortion, passed by some states like Texas, demonstrate the need for women, especially young women, to take to the streets and to lobby their elected officials for protections of women's rights.  Sandy describes the times of the Stonewall Revolution in June 1969, when she had not yet come out as lesbian for fear of losing straight music gigs. Sandy then became active in lobbying the passage of lesbian and gay rights on Long Island, NY, and even gave police sensitivity training, as reflected in her song, Everyone Was At Stonewall. Sandy is not only a singer/songwriter but also the author of God's Country: A Case Against Theocracy (The Haworth Press; 1991). Be sure and listen to this enlightening conversation between our host Elaine and Sandy Rapp.

About our Guest:  Sandy Rapp is a songwriter, activist, and author of God's Country: A Case Against Theocracy (The Haworth Press; 1991). Her best-known songs are Remember Rose: Song for Choice, about the first back-street abortion fatality of the 1977 Medicaid-Abortion cutoff (all editions feature a guest vocal by the late Bella Abzug) and Everyone Was At Stonewall, a gay history, written for police sensitivity training, which won Stonewall Society's Pride Song of 2004. Rapp was instrumental in the passage of a number of gay civil rights laws on Long Island, NY. Her CDs include We the People, Flag & The Rainbow, Still Marching' and Salute to the Veteran Feminists,
In 2006 Rapp received two OutMusic Award nominations and served as a Grand Marshal of the Long Island Pride Parade. Rapp's premier of Rise Up Ye Women at the NYU Law School was toasted in The New Yorker - 11/13/06; and in 2010 Rapp won Stonewall Society's Pride in the Arts Lifetime Achievement in Music Award.
