The Smile: 7/4

Stories about resilience, progress, and progressive leadership inside

Hi friend,

Happy Fourth of July. No matter what bills are passed, who controls Congress, or who sits in the White House, The Smile will always be here to bring you light in the news cycle. Even as we keep a close eye on the impacts of Trump’s new budget bill, you can count on us to deliver hope, progress, and stories of people fighting for what’s right.

In good news: over 175 Democrats in Congress are standing with the NAACP to stop Trump’s attempt to dismantle the Department of Education — a powerful stand for students, teachers, and the future of public schools.

Let’s dive into the good news and keep pressing on. 💛

Today’s user-submitted photo comes from Donna K., who shared the cutest photo of her dogs! If you want the chance to have your photo featured, reply to this email 😄

In solidarity,

Emily from The Smile
