This week on Good News Santa Cruz host Pauline Seales interviewed Matt Miller of Ecology Action.
Covid-19 precluded the traditional May Bike month. Determined to keep the spirit alive, Matt shared with Pauline Ecology Action’s plan for the July virtual bike month. This involves using the love to ride website. At this site people will set personal riding goals and be eligible for 5 $100 prizes each week.
The discussion also included many details about ways to ride safely. These included bike lane improvements and plastic bollards for lane separation, as recently installed along Water st. The “Slow Streets” movement already in place in Oakland is being considered for various cities in our county and Matt is involved in those plans.
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.
