North Carolina

Welcome to Red Wine & Blue North Carolina

We are nearly 40,000 diverse women and 50 TroubleNation groups in NC who find strength in our differences and hope in community. With all the chaos happening at the federal level, we’re staying laser focused on where we know we can have the most impact—right here at home! Because when they go low, we go local.

Making a Difference In Our Hometowns

Our RWB North Carolina Team, along with our Troublemavens and TroubleNation leaders, are working hard to empower, train and mobilize women in all 100 counties in the Tar Heel state.

we won 69 percent of targeted municipal races
commonsense candidates won 84 percent of targeted school board races
75 percent of RWB troublemakers running for office won

In 2025, our members helped us win 84% of the school board races and 69% of the municipal races we targeted. Some of our members even ran for office, and 75% of them won, including nine of our Black Troublemakers! This means we are building a bench of diverse suburban women leaders in areas that will be critical to our success in 2026.

North Carolina Trouble Maven Academy
Taking a first step into advocacy can be scary! We know some people want to take a deeper dive into how NC politics work first. That’s why we’ve uniquely designed our 6-week “bootcamp” to give North Carolina Troublemakers all the information and confidence you need to join us in our collective fight for our rights!

TroubleMaven Academy consists of six video modules you can complete at your own pace.
