Take care of yourself through community

Nov 7, 2024 | Easy A

It’s only been about 24 hours since we woke up to the bad news. Donald Trump has won the 2024 presidential election and Republicans took control of the Senate. It hurts.

We’re feeling all the feelings, from shock to sadness to fear to rage. It’s important that we take the time to allow ourselves to feel these feelings and grieve the loss of the future we worked and hoped for.

But you don’t have to cope with any of this alone. Your Easy A this week is simple — take care of yourself and find support from the Red Wine & Blue community however you need it.

We have each other in this moment and we’re not going anywhere. There are over 600,000 women and 500 local groups in our community, and we’re leaning on each other right now for comfort and strength.

If you aren’t already connected with a Red Wine & Blue group on Facebook or locally through TroubleNation, we invite you to join one here:

Right now, our women are connecting and supporting each other in all of these spaces. We have seen how these connections can make a difference in so many ways. Today, we need them to help us process this loss.

You are not alone. We can grieve together in this moment and then heal, because we are not giving up. Women have found their power in our community and we won’t stop going, no matter who is in office.
