The Smile: 7/7

Hi friend,

Happy Monday! The cities of Baltimore, Chicago, and Columbus are stepping up to defend their residents. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit to block changes to the ACA and protect access to affordable health care for millions.

✍️ Add your name to applaud these cities for standing up for health care access and fighting to keep families covered.

Also in the news: runners are hitting the streets to protest ICE in immigrant communities, a major appeals court ruling just struck down Texas’s unconstitutional immigration law, and even a local dog gets a statue!
