The Smile: 4/28

April 28, 2025

Hi friend,

Happy Monday, friend! We're kicking off the week with powerful news: top Democrats are holding a sit-in on the Capitol steps to stand strong against Trump’s dangerous agenda. It’s a reminder that courage and persistence make a difference — every single day.

We’re also carrying the spirit of kindness with us. In our Sunday poll asking, “What’s one act of kindness you witnessed or experienced this week?” the most common answers were “someone offered help without asking” and “a friend reached out to check in.” Moments like those are proof that even small acts create big waves of hope.

Today’s newsletter is full of more good news and inspiring stories — let’s dive in and keep the momentum going. 💛

Today’s user-submitted photo was sent in by Kaye W., who shared the cutest photo of her dogs, Brady and Kenda! If you want the chance to have your photo featured, reply to this email 😄

Thank you for reading, and we hope these articles shine a light on your day.

In solidarity,

Emily from The Smile
