The Smile: 3/25

Hi friend,

Happy Wednesday! Democrats just scored a major win in the heart of Trump country, flipping a Florida state House seat that includes Mar-a-Lago and proving that no district is out of reach with strong, people-focused campaigns.

There’s more good news today: courts are defending DACA recipients and reproductive rights, Minnesota leaders are fighting for transparency and justice, and grassroots changemakers are reshaping their communities for the better.
