The Smile: 7/1

Hi friend,

Happy Tuesday! Civil rights groups are suing to block Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship. Led by the ACLU, Legal Defense Fund, Asian Law Caucus, and others, this bold legal action defends a fundamental constitutional right and protects families across the country.

Add your name to stand with the advocates fighting to uphold the 14th Amendment and keep America’s promise of equal citizenship for all!

Also in the news: Democrats are organizing nationwide ahead of the elections, “Free America” rallies filled streets on the Fourth of July, and Hungary’s Pride ban couldn’t stop thousands from marching for equality.

Let’s dive into the good news! 💛
