Easy A: meaningful actions in five minutes or less

Do This: Support the Women of Red Wine & Blue

Dec 18, 2025 | Easy A, Year End Giving 2025

As part of our Dear 2026 celebrations, we’ve been highlighting the extraordinary work of our members and TroubleNation groups this year.

Our community continues to grow and our Troublemakers have stayed active through banned book clubs, advocacy at state legislatures, rallies, craftivism, local volunteer projects, trainings, and get-out-the-vote efforts. Their hard work and actions have paid off with great electoral wins in November.

But we get that not everyone has enough free time to participate in these activities, and since you’re an Easy A subscriber, that very likely includes you. That’s ok! We can’t all do all the things.

So here’s an easy action you can take this week to be a part of our final win in 2025: donate to Red Wine & Blue during our Dear 2026 campaign.

Dear 2026. Red Wine and Blue.

The giving of our treasure is just as valuable as the giving of our time. Historian Timothy Snyder even includes “contribute to good causes” as one of his 20 lessons on how to fight extremism in his book, On Tyranny. He writes that donating to an organization that shares your values, “supports civil society and helps others to do good.”

You can make a one-time gift today or set up a monthly recurring donation to give us and our members supportive boosts all year long.

We can’t do this without you – and wouldn’t want to! – so thank you for your support!
