On Good News Santa Cruz, Thursday August 6, 2020 Jenny Hernandez from Common Roots Farm joins host Mathilde Rand to discuss how people, with and without disabilities, participate on the urban farm taking care of plants and animals, and creating friendships with one another that sustain everyone.

Common Root Farm grows a variety of vegetables, herbs, fruit and flowers while providing farm skills training, internships, environmental and gardening education and micro-enterprise opportunities on approximately four acres right in the heart of Santa Cruz, CA.

They have an excellent website with links to volunteer, donate or contact them.

Good News Santa Cruz is a show hosted by a collective of women inspired by the peace and social justice mission of WILPF (Women's International League for Peace and Freedom). There's 104 years of history behind this show–years of women crossing many nations and facing all kinds of odds to make a world that works better for us all. And this work is still going on, as powerful as ever. Our show brings that story home, here and now, in Santa Cruz, and in real time. We air interviews with local people who are finding real ways out of the mess we're in – with stories, ideas, successes and strategies connecting across issues to achieve systems change. Team Members include: Randa Solick – Educator and Social Justice Activist; Pauline Seales – Educator and climate activist; Nancy Glock-Grueneich – Educator and systems change visionary; Debora Bone – Medical Professional and Social Justice Activist; Christine Barrington – Therapist and Societal Transformation Activist; David Sweet – WILPF member, Retired History Professor and Social Justice Activist; Keisha Frost – CEO, United Way Santa Cruz County.
