Description
Monday, March 8, International Women’s Day from 1:00 - 1:30 PM Sive interviews Donna Short and Meredith Bruskin. Meredith, a retired nurse-practitioner, and Donna, a retired carpenter / behavioral health professional, are known for their environmental, Black Lives Matter, and anti-war work. In earlier days they were active in humanitarian efforts to address the HIV/AIDS crisis. They organize a yearly public vigil on December 1, World AIDS Day to remember all those we have lost, and honor all those still living with HIV/AIDS. Over the years there are few social justice causes in which they have not participated but, like most women, feminism was their first introduction to the need for political change. This program will be a wide ranging discussion of how political awareness occurs and of the balm of political action. Photo of Donna Short and Meredith Bruskin
