🎯 This Sunday, May 25th is the fifth anniversary of George Floyd's death, and leaders in the Black faith community are hosting a series of peaceful protests outside of Target stores to pressure the retailer to re-establish its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
🇺🇸 Monday is Memorial Day, a U.S. holiday intended to remember and honor military personnel who died in the service of their country, and is different from Veterans Day commemorations.
On that note: There will be no Goodnewsletter in your inbox on Monday, May 27th, as our team will be commemorating Memorial Day. We will be back to filling your inbox with good news on Tuesday!

A U.S. House committee removed a budget bill amendment that would require the sale of nearly 500,000 acres of federal public land
When lawmakers added an amendment to a major budget bill that would have required the sale or transfer of around 500,000 acres of federal public land in Utah and Nevada — conservationists, outdoor enthusiasts, and citizens in general were outraged.
Now, under pressure from House Republicans who said they wouldn't support the budget at all if it included the land-sale amendment, leadership from the House Rules Committee removed it — ensuring these lands stay protected.
The lawmakers and advocates both feared that it would lead to a new precedent for selling federal lands, and removing access for hikers, anglers, and other outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy them, and could lead to it happening elsewhere.
What's the nuance? The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" passed the House and is now headed for the Senate. While it's very good news that the land-sale amendment was removed, the bill still contains devastating cuts to health care, food assitance, and clean energy, adds to the national deficit, and contains major tax breaks for corporations and top earners.

For the first time since the 1950s, Detroit is leading the state of Michigan in population growth
In a "historic turnaround," the city of Detroit's population grew for the second year in a row, jumping by around 12,500 people, after consistently declining for over 50 years.
It's also leading the entire state of Michigan in population growth. The milestone demonstrates the city's "comeback" after decades of people fleeing and the historic 2013 bankruptcy.
Some of the key factors in the city's "surging growth" are improved neighborhoods, better city services, new job centers, crime reduction, and a "world class sports and entertainment district."
Happy Friday 💗 This week, a subscriber wrote in and said:
"Currently, some scary news for me are related to the immigration policies from the current administration. As an immigrant myself, it's very anxiety inducing sometimes."
And that's completely understandable. The headlines around immigration in the U.S. are very scary — thankfully, there are people making a difference.
