Our Featured Guests
1.Connie Madden shares her journey into activism and the eventual co-founding of the Sonoma County chapter of Pachamama Alliance. Connie will be one of the facilitators of the Drawdown Workshop to be given on Thursday May 9 at the Arlene Francis Center. Paul Hawkins in his book Drawdown lists 100 solutions to help turn around the Climate Crisis in which people can get involved and this will be presented at the workshops. Connie emphasized that for Pachamama whole systems thinking is important; you can’t fix the planet and its culture without deep understanding of the links between all living beings. Connie encourages us to read Charles Eisenstein’s book Climate: A New Story on regeneration with justice and resilient neighborhoods.
About our Guest: Connie Madden has been an activist since age 5 when her Mom had her delivering fliers for Adlai Stevenson. While in college she started a Students for Democratic Society chapter and she helped former Gov, Jerry Brown do a local radio show on radio station KPFA. Along with her partner, Wayne, and others, she started the Sonoma County chapter of Pachamama Alliance. The group has been giving The DRAWDOWN workshops showing solutions to global warming with justice with the goal of presenting the workshop in each city in Sonoma County. With her partner Wayne she lives on Oasis Community Farm just outside Petaluma where they have a great community barn they use for dance, theater, political and music events, and for family and farm to table dinners.

The exhibit included eight students who were competing for the honor of having their art displayed in the hall of Congress for one year. I got to see the Sonoma County contenders.
