Since 2015, Jain communities have defended the practice of santhārā, a voluntary ritual fast until death practiced mostly by elderly laywomen, against claims formalized in Public Interest Litigation that the fast amounts to illegal suicide and its abetment through communal and familial coercion. Laywomen's santhārās employ a religious idiom to shift the strain of aging and death within the household, where norms of elderly, ascetic, and maternal self-effacement run together.
The International Night at Lincoln School was lively, with around 200-250 people attending, including 81 students who signed up via Google form. People from various countries, like Mexico, Japan, and Italy, brought delicious food to share. There was even a map where attendees could mark where they were from. It showed how diverse our community is. Also, we learned that 20.3% of Lincoln students qualify for free/reduced lunch, the highest in the district. Teachers at the Lincoln Elementary School thanked the University of Pittsburgh for its support.
