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.

1Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz  Our Thanksgiving family gathering was wonderful and extremely heart felt. We have a tradition, something I started with my family years ago, going around the table and saying what we were thankful for. There was so much gratitude and openness that I truly felt the Great Spirit, the Great Mystery, was alive and well. On the air today I wanted to add one more thing. I am so grateful to be on the air and for the support I have received. A special thank you to co-producer
and engineer Ken Norton who is at my side every Monday morning to make sure we have all our ducks in order along with making sure we are set up for the 11pm replay. We record live here at KBBF 89.1FM and a special thank you to Edgar Avila for being such a great program manager and to President Alicia Sanchez and her board for keeping us on the air. November marks 10 years since I have come back to radio and want to thank all of you listeners for listening.

2. Our first guest Laura Tredinnick talks about the American Association of University Women (AAUW), a national organization founded in 1881 to advocate equity for women and girls, lifelong education, and positive societal change. Laura emphasized the mission of the Healdsburg chapter: "We change lives," that happens through volunteers. Elementary school students are tutored to learn to read, and girls entering the 8th Grade are selected to attend a Tech Trek camp for activities in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). High School students are exposed to a variety of careers, and college scholarships are made available in the senior year. Scholarships are also available for women reentering college. Men and women can join AAUW, and there are no barriers to full participation in AAUW based on gender, race, creed, sexual orientation, disability, or class. The chapter also has many social groups in hiking, Bridge, and current affairs. Sonoma County has 3 AAUW chapters: Healdsburg, Santa Rosa, and Petaluma.

About our First Guest:  Laura Tredinnick is a lifelong Sonoma County resident. She had a 30-year career in Information Technology, with the City of Santa Rosa, spending the last 20 years as Information Technology Manager. After she retired, she spent the next five years consulting with various government organizations in the information technology field.She has served on the boards of Big Brothers Big Sisters, The Friends of Alexander Valley Hall, and the Alexander Valley Ladies Aid, and was a mentor through the SAY program for teen mothers. She has been a member of the American Association of University Women for 30 years and is currently President of the Healdsburg chapter.

3Our second guest Katrina Phillips, upset with the police response to the 2020 protests of the killing of George Floyd, asked Supervisor Shirley Zane to be appointed to the Commission for Human Rights (CHR) and was granted the request. She was able to do something constructive for the community instead of just being angry. With Kathleen Finigan, who recently passed away, she updated the mission statement of CHR to read:

Sonoma County Commission on Human Rights
                                                
                                               Mission

The County of Sonoma Commission on Human Rights provides leadership, education, and advocacy to ensure all members of our community, especially those among us who are marginalized, disadvantaged, or whose rights are being violated, enjoy the full range of human rights to which every person is entitled.

Katrina is proud of the the recent Chair of CHR Dimitra Smith, who helped write the recent California Law Enforcement Accountability Reform Act (CLEAR Act) that requires law enforcement agencies to screen applicants for ties to hate groups and makes it easier to fire any officer with such ties. Katrina is especially advocating that warming centers be opened when the temperatures dip below 50°F instead of 32°F to protect the lives of the homeless. There are commissioner vacant seats in District 1 (contact Supervisor Susan Gore) and in District 4 (contact Supervisor James Gore). The Junior Commission on Human Rights is accepting applications for 2022-2023.

About our Second Guest:  Katrina Phillips is the Chair of Sonoma County Commission on Human Rights, a member of The Human Trafficking Task Force, a volunteer with Fire Pet Rescue and Reunification since 2017, a writer, a poet and in her previous life was a professional Actress, appearing in plays and improvisations. Her most notable film was with RuPaul: But I'm a Cheerleader.

Herstory Birthdays: 

November 30, 1924 (2005) – Shirley Chisolm

Who Was Shirley Chisolm?

Shirley Anita Chisholm November 30, 1924 – January 1, 2005) was an American politician who in 1968 became the first black woman elected to the United States Congress.[1] Chisholm represented New York's 12th congressional district, a district centered on Bedford–Stuyvesant,[a] for seven terms from 1969 to 1983. In 1972, she became the first black candidate for a major-party nomination for President of the United States, and the first woman to run for the Democratic Party's nomination. She received 151 delegate votes at the Democratic Convention in 1972.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, she spent ages five through nine in Barbados, and always considered herself a Barbadian American. She excelled at school and earned her college degree in the United
States. She started working in early childhood education and became involved in local Democratic Party politics in the 1950s. In 1964, overcoming some resistance because she was a woman, she was elected to the New York State Assembly. Four years later, she was elected to Congress, where she led the expansion of food and nutrition programs for the poor and rose to party leadership. She retired from Congress in 1983 and taught at Mount Holyoke College while continuing her political organizing. Although nominated for an ambassadorship in 1993, health issues caused her to withdraw. In 2015, Chisholm was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
