Now is the time to seize upon suburban women’s visceral opposition to Republican attacks on their freedom, their children, and democracy. RWB is doing just that through our year-round relational organizing program. We build community and tap the networks of women in our community to reach voters we need to win.
Red Wine & Blue has built hyper-local organizing infrastructure and culturally-relevant communications that engages diverse suburban women where they are, supports them to represent their views, and doesn't go away.

Priority Issues: As soon as the Dobbs decision leaked, thousands of women in the RWB community began sharing deeply personal abortion stories – many for the first time. Every story was different, but all of them unifying diverse suburban women around the visceral belief that every woman’s reproductive decisions must be her own., , And then came then came the IVF news out of Alabama that has our members reeling so we launched the engagement campaign "Save IVF and Birth Control". , , This followed the same pattern we saw beginning in the Spring of 2021 when RWB members began reporting disruptions at school board meetings - often from parents without kids in their districts. Suburban moms flocked to our trainings to unify in support of their kids, teachers, and public education. , , , There’s no question that suburban women want reproductive freedom and inclusive, high quality public schools. But because of an organizing gap, they are often drowned out by a small, loud, well-funded extremist minority. RWB fills that gap - we organize around suburban women’s visceral opposition to attacks on their freedom, their children, and democracy.
