The Smile: 9/23

Hi friend,

Happy Wednesday! California and New York are taking the Trump administration to court over federal agreements to cancel several offshore wind projects.

🌊 Applaud these states for standing against Trump’s decision and for protecting their wind energy projects!

There’s even more good today: A federal judge struck down a policy barring some immigrant families from Head Start programs, Washington became the latest state to prevail at stopping the DOJ’s voter grab, and three park rangers are sharing caregiving duties for an orphaned baby elephant.

Let’s dive into the good news! 💛
