Claiming Our Space: Voices of Autistic Nonspeakers

Pope Francis, the head of Catholic Church is no more! He died the day after Easter at the age of 88. Pope Francis was born in Argentina and was elected to the highest office by the College of Cardinals at the Vatican City in 2013. He was the first non-European to become the pope.

Pope Francis will be fondly remembered for promoting peace and international understanding in his masses and messages—immediate ceasefire in Gaza (Palestine), interfaith dialogue and equality, acceptance of diversity, as well as opportunities for the poor, for the refugees and migrants, protection of climate and environment. He called for an end of wars in our world.

Common Dreams reported: The Pope's Easter address, read aloud by Archbishop Diego Ravelli, decried the "terrible conflict" in Gaza that "continues to cause death and destruction and to create a dramatic and deplorable humanitarian situation."

"I appeal to the warring parties: call a cease-fire, release the hostages, and come to the aid of a starving people that aspires to a future of peace!" said the message from the pope, an outspoken opponent of military conflict and war profiteers, climate destruction, and runaway economic inequality.
Pope Francis Presente! Presente! Presente! Long Live Pope Francis!

Books in the News: Banned or Challenged Books of 2024
To begin the NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK that began today (April 7th), The American Library Association (ALA) has released the Top 10 Most Challenged Books List as part of the 2025 State of America’s Libraries Report that highlights the ways libraries continue to meet the needs of their communities amid challenges to intellectual freedom.
The most common justifications for censorship provided by complainants were false claims of illegal obscenity for minors; inclusion of LGBTQIA+ characters or themes; and covering topics of race, racism, equity, and social justice.
Reports sent to ALA documented 821 attempts to censor library books and other materials in 2024 across all library types (compared to 1,247 attempts in 2023). The Banned Books Week will take place from October 5-11, 2025. See the Top 10 Book list on our website in the Multicultural and Nature Books section.
Today, Monday, April the 7th is being observed as Right to Read Day.

Dear friends,
We are pleased to tell you that our special issue focusing exclusively on Gaza is now on our website.

Seattle-based educators Lauren Marshall and D’vorah Kost, as guest editors, along with poet and educator Merna Hecht and executive editor Arun Toké, we have worked tirelessly these last two months to compile and organize this beautiful and powerful collection of material, now available for the world to read! The collection features works of art, poetry, short story and song lyrics by talented youth artists from Gaza—many of whom are now living in Egypt or other places because of the destructive war that drags on, now in its 15th month, killing over 46,000 people—44,786 Palestinians and 1,706 Israelis—and injuring over a hundred thousand. Most of the casualties have been innocent children and women.

From Gaza to The World: Art & Writing by Palestinian Youth.

May peace prevail soon in the region and all people live in peace!
