To increase the viral nature of our content, we make it fun, heartfelt, and humorous so they feel safe and proud to share it with their networks. Community-building and friend-to-friend organizing: many women feel like political outsiders, but most are trusted community insiders, with extensive networks bridging many different communities and interests. We connect women to each other through our online and in-person training and events. Red wine & blue members, in turn, share our content and resources across their networks and become trusted messengers who increase red wine & bues reach and generate additional new members who want to get involved.
