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 I am so excited, joining me on the phone Rosita Stevens-Holsey is a dynamic educator, writer, activist and niece of Attorney, Civil/Women’s Rights Activists, poet and one of the co-founders of the National Organization for Women (NOW) Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray. Rosita was with us in August 2022 and returns to reveal more insights about her Aunt Pauli, who contributed so much during the civil rights and women’s movement.

We have a special interview today. Joining me on the phone is Susan Lamont, a dear friend, who will announce the End the Endless Wars Rally happening this Saturday, 3/20/203.  Susan has been incredibly involved with bringing about law enforcement accountability, especially after the killing of 13-year-old Andy Lopez, which Women's Spaces devoted many shows (Click for list of shows re. Andy Lopez on our home page.)

2. Our First Guest, Susan Lamont announces the rally to occur on Saturday, March 25, 2023 in Santa Rosa Courthouse Square to End the Endless Wars, asserting that continued lies on both sides is benefitting mostly the Military-Industrial-Finance-Media Complex while burdening the fighting countries with brutal reality of war and social costs.

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.

Guest Event:

Saturday, March 25, 2023, 1 - 3 PM PDT, End the Endless Wars Rally, Courthouse Square, Santa Rosa, CA - see flyer below in Announcements:

3. Our Second Guest, Rosita Stevens-Holsey, returns to dive deeper into the life of her aunt, the Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray (1910 - 1985), who was an Attorney, Civil/Women’s Rights Activists, poet, the first African American woman ordained as an Episcopalian priest, and one of the co-founders of the National Organization for Women (NOW). Pauli Murray's paper as a junior in college under Professor Thurgood Marshall on the 14th Amendment protections of civil rights should apply to Black Americans, was used by Marshall as the Chief Counsel for the NAACP pleading the "separate but equal" argument before the U.S. Supreme Court on Brown v Board of Education. Marshall considered Pauli's book States' Laws on Race and Color the bible of the Civil Rights Movement. Rosita recalls visiting Eleanor Roosevelt with her Aunt Pauli, who developed a close relationship with Eleanor who would read Pauli's letters to her husband President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR). FDR felt he would lose political power if the Southern Democrats refused to support him on Civil Rights, but Eleanor was agreeable to Pauli's arguments while encouraging her to be patient. Pauli was not satisfied with that and engaged in writing letters to Eleanor which Pauli published in a weekly newspaper column. Pauli believed in "confrontation by typewriter" and published them in a column. US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg credited Pauli Murray in the Roe v Wade Decision. Rosita announces that Pauli Murray will be honored by the U.S. Mint with her bust on the 2024 Quarter coin. With the support of NOW, Rosita has been asked to join the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women. Take a listen to this intimate recalling of Rosita's Aunt Pauli.

About our Guest: Rosita Stevens-Holsey is a Rosita Stevens-Holseydynamic educator, writer, activist, and community engager focused on sharing stories of historical and pioneering voices for children and adults to be inspired by. In the spirit of enhancing the legacy of her aunt, Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray, Rosita has co-authored with Terry Catasús Jennings, a biography entitled “Pauli Murray: The Life of a Pioneering Feminist & Civil Rights Activist.” She holds a B.S. in Science and Education from State University of New York and a Master’s in Counseling and Human Services from Boston University.
