The end of 2025 is in sight, and for a lot of us, that is cause for celebration!
The year started with the inauguration of the Trump administration, and from day one, they took actions that harmed average Americans. From dismantling the Department of Education, to enacting tariffs that raised the prices of our everyday goods, to shutting down diversity and inclusion efforts everywhere, to snatching our neighbors right out of their homes and workplaces – they made much of 2025 a total dumpster fire.
So maybe you’re celebrating the END of this painful year, but believe it or not, there are also some good things that happened. We want to celebrate those, too.
It would’ve been easy to give up in January and just try to get by, but we refused. Instead, we started the year with our historian friends Heather Cox Richardson and Timothy Snyder who inspired us to not give in to extremism, and to go local to protect democracy instead. In doing so, we accomplished some pretty amazing things:
- Our membership grew by over 190,000 people!
- TroubleNation exploded to more than 800 local groups!
- We launched our new RWB App and more than 29,000 of you are already using it!
- We celebrated incredible election wins in November that set the stage for an even better 2026.
So if we take away one main lesson from 2025, it’s that if we stick together, hold onto hope and joy, and keep going, we can do great things!
Now we’re kicking off our most fun and forward-looking year-end celebration ever, and for the next few weeks, we want you to join us!
We’re not just saying “good riddance” to a year filled with mostly crappy things, we’re celebrating how we turned it around and have lots to look forward to in 2026.
A new year offers us endless possibilities. We’re taking this time to reflect and plan, and that’s where our Dear 2026 campaign comes in. We’re writing letters to our future selves, celebrating the work of intrepid women with our first ever Troubbies awards, and donating to support more women’s democracy-saving work next year.
But to kick things off, we’re starting with a little fun. We designed this special deck of tarot cards to give you some insight into what your 2026 with Red Wine & Blue holds. Give the deck a shuffle, pull the card you’re most drawn to, and see what special message you receive for 2026.
Then, if you have a little extra time, head on over to our Dear 2026 campaign page to learn about the rest of our year-end celebrations and our intentions for an amazing year ahead. And feel free to share with friends!
*Note, this is all for fun and entertainment! We aren’t tarot experts and we can’t predict the future, but we know one thing’s for sure – we’ll keep fighting extremism in 2026 and we want you with us!
