CORRECTION: "No Kings" protest is scheduled for March 28th. (The Smile: 3/13)

Hi friend,

The email I sent earlier mentioned that the third nationwide “No Kings” protest was scheduled for this weekend, rather than March 28th.

I apologize for the error, but I hope you’ll take this as an extra opportunity to find the event nearest to you and make plans to attend.

Thanks for your understanding and for all that you do,

Hi friend,

Happy Friday! Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has introduced a new bill that would protect the brave whistleblowers and journalists who reveal government wrongdoing. Named after Daniel Ellsberg, the military analyst who exposed U.S. officials’ deception about the Vietnam War, the bill is already gaining support with veterans, former intelligence officers, and civil rights advocates.

✍️ Thank Rep. Tlaib and members of Congress working to protect the rights of journalists and whistleblowers with the Daniel Ellsberg Act

There’s more momentum today: The third nationwide “No Kings” protest is expected to break records this month, Democrats are holding the Pentagon accountable for attacks on an Iranian school, the ballpark where Jackie Robinson first played is getting a major renovation, and Gen Z is taking on Trump in a big way.

Let’s dive into the good news! 💛
