Dear 2026…
We had an emotional start to 2025, but we didn’t let the extremists get us down. Together, we held onto hope and joy. They went low, so we went local, digging into our local communities to protect each other and protect democracy.
We ended the year celebrating tons of election wins: securing school boards who love public education and support all kids, judges who will rule with common sense, and local leaders who will protect our communities from extremism.
We’re inviting the Red Wine & Blue community to celebrate this uplifting ending to 2025 by envisioning the 2026 you want to see. In the final weeks of the year, we’re offering up lots of fun ways to do it!
Our goal is to raise $125,000 as part of these festivities. That will help us start 2026 ready to grab hold of even more joy and victories. We know we can do it with your help. Join us as we say, “Dear 2026, we are looking forward to you and the future looks bright!”
Your Donation Doubled!
Thanks to the generosity of a Red Wine & Blue supporter, donations made between now and December 31 will be doubled, up to $35,000!
This means that anything you give will go twice as far in 2026, setting up the entire Red Wine & Blue community up for success. Donate now and give Red Wine & Blue twice the support!
