As we reflect on 2025, we’re in awe of how much the women of Red Wine & Blue accomplished. It’s beautiful to see that even while facing the rise in extremism, we’re still able to find joy in our work together.
See for yourself! Take a minute to watch this video recap of our year. It’s hard not to feel the love and good vibes that come hand-in-hand with making positive change in our communities.
In 2025, Red Wine & Blue and our TroubleNation groups held a staggering 4,212 events that were attended by 83,443 people. This video gives just a hint of what it was like to be there.
