Former Los Angeles Times staffer Jocelyn Y. Stewart writes this commentary in Monday's newspaper, about a near-centenarian's opposition to Christmas trees in private homes.

Stewart's contributor's bio notes that she's a fellow with the Horizon Institute.

Horizon (motto: "New Ideas for Economic Change") is dedicated, according to the mission statement on its website, to "building an economy that puts people first."

According to the site, Horizon board members include Oxy's Peter Dreier and labor leader Maria Elena Durazo. Journalist, documentary filmmaker, and Community College leader Kelly Candaele is Horizon's executive director.

More from the Horizon mission statement:

The Horizon Institute was built on the belief that the creation of healthy communities requires a vibrant and accountable public sector, a dynamic and democratic labor movement, a sustainable environment, a spiritual dimension that connects us and an overall belief in equality and opportunity. The Horizon Institute seeks to explore practical alternatives to the free market doctrines that have led to widespread deregulation, a broken health care system and a decline in economic security that has impacted all but the most affluent.
