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.
Craftivism gatherings. Banned Book Club meetings. Advocacy Days at state legislatures. Troublemaker Trainings on how to protect democracy. No Kings rallies. Our Inaugural TroubleNation summit. Rally Together outreach to get friends and family ready to vote. And so much more.
Being together in these ways and seeing the impact of our work (remember all these wins?) helped us stay energized and hopeful in 2025. We can’t wait to do even more of this in 2026!

There are more than 4,000 data centers in the U.S. That’s a lot, and the more we use the internet and AI, the more that number will grow. Still, many of us don’t know much about the impact of data centers if we haven’t personally experienced them in our own community....
Whenever we do a quick Google search or snap a picture on our phones and it saves to the “cloud,” many of us don’t think about what that means. The internet feels like an imaginary, infinite space for holding all our digital stuff. But it’s actually all powered by...
