We’re thankful to SchoolLibraryJournal for sharing about our important new position statement!

ow.ly/s5KI50MwAQw Agree! My book (National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) 2023 Orbis Pictus Honor) "Fighting for Yes!The Story of Disbility Rights Activist Judith Huemann" was written so that students can learn about the History of Disability Rights, a topic NOT in any textbook.ABRAMS Kids Vivien Mildenberger

On Mar 4, the world lost an icon; Judith Heumann spent her life fighting for disability rights. She kindly reviewed by recent Biography and graciously wrote a note which appears the book. In her honor, let's continue to Fight for YES Vivien Mildenberger ABRAMS Kids #Fightingforyes


One of America’s greatest activists, Judith Heumann, passed away over the weekend. Judy led the historic 504 Sit-in in 1977 and spent her life fighting for disability rights. Let's all continue to fight for YES in her honor. #FightingForYes Maryann CoccaLeffler Vivien Mildenberger
