We choose peace not war! We love all humanity. We don't have enemies. We don't want to create enemies. Just because someone has a different nationality, language, culture or religion, that does not make them our enemy.
We believe in common humanity and common sense. We don't want our leaders to push us in a war with another people or country. We have faith in kindness and friendship. We don't believe that this violent war that our leaders are calling for against Iran (or against any people for that matter) will bring peace in the world. We hope humanity will prevail! We request our leaders to think of the people of Iran as their own family.

Black Friday?
Nuh...
How about a GREEN FRIDAY?
Enjoy the outdoors with your friends and family; not in the shopping malls but in the great outdoors, nearby or a little far. Let the trees and forests, parks and river breeze cool you. Weather permitting, go for a bike ride, if you can. Or, if you live near the ocean, you might go and enjoy the ocean breeze with your family!

* We celebrate the life of a global visionary, Dr. Jane Goodall who died on October 1, 2025 at the age of 91. Her groundbreaking discoveries have changed our understanding of its role in an interconnected world, and her advocacy has pointed to a greater purpose for our species in caring for life on this planet.
Dr. Jane Goodall received world fame for her studies of chimpanzees in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park, which single-handedly changed how animals are studied. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute to help protect Tanzania’s chimpanzee population and improves the lives of local communities. She was an avid advocate for nature and ecology. Her Roots & Shoots program has helped educate countless youth worldwide on how people and nature (including wild animals) can thrive together. She always spoke on the importance of ecology and preserving the natural world. She has been considered a giant of our times.
Among many other honors, in 2021, Dr. Goodall was awarded the Templeton Prize in celebration of her remarkable career, which arose from and was sustained by a keen scientific and spiritual curiosity. From an ordinary Jane (Doe), she became the world famous Dr. Goodall! (Our thanks to the Templeton Prize Newsletter for this news item.

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.
