ALT Title: Update on LAP Censorship Tracker from Librarians and Archivists with Palestine. We launched the LAP Censorship tracker just over a month ago. We've heard from over 30 people at 28 institutions in the US, Canada, Australia, the UK, and the Netherlands. Here are some of the kinds of experiences that have been shared with us so far. Logo of white outline of book with kite strings attached on a red background. Background of multi-colored torn and ripped papers with Arabic text.
ALT Title: LAP Censorship Tracker Submissions. Event cancellations, removal of social media and blog posts, removal of book displays containing books about Palestine or the Middle East, prohibitions on visible display of support for Palestine (keffiyehs, watermelon pins), prohibitions on internal staff discussion of Palestine, increased policing and temporary closure of libraries, doxxing and threats to librarians speaking out about Palestine, resignations, firings, and demotions arrests of campus information workers.

ALT Beige and grey graphic with faded archival Falastin newspaper and a keffiyeh-style pattern in the background. Bolded black text in the centre reads: “Archives and Heritage for Palestine”. A turquoise-green and black subtitle reads: Dr. Salman Abu Sitta in conversation with Ghada Dimashk, co-hosted by Dr. Jamila Ghaddar and Tam Rayan.” At the bottom of the graphic is grey text that reads, “live from Beirut, link in bio” and in the bottom right corner there are two portraits of the speakers: a smiling individual with white hair, fair skin, and glasses, and another smiling individual wearing a black hijab and black blouse. In the top-right corner is the date and time, it reads: “June 4. 9am San Francisco (Ohlone),12pm Toronto (Tkaronto), 7pm Jerusalem/Beirut.”
