SUMMARY:Red Wine & Blue: THE COORDINATED ATTACK ON WOMEN'S RIGHTS
DESCRIPTION:Through organizing and advocacy\, women won access to education\, the ballot\, freedom to make healthcare decisions\, and increased economic opportunity. But these gains are now being targeted by extremists under the guise of “pro-family” values. This isn’t a fringe movement–it is a well-funded and coordinated plan to take away our power. Join us to hear from the National Women’s Law Center to learn who is behind this effort and how these ideas are shaping policy. Together we can stop this extremist agenda and make sure the next generation has more rights–not fewer. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSIGN UP NOW

SUMMARY:Red Wine & Blue: Banned Book Club is the title
DESCRIPTION:You’re not seeing double. This month\, RWB’s Banned Book Club is discussing … “Banned Book Club” with co-author Ryan Estrada. \nThe graphic novel is a fictionalized account of Ryan’s co-author and wife Hyun Sook Kim’s real-life experience standing up to censorship – and ultimately making her country a freer place – under South Korea’s military dictatorship in the 1980s. \nThe story may have taken place decades ago and thousands of miles away\, but the story of censorship is more relevant than ever in the United States today. \nJoin us as we welcome Ryan Estrada next Wednesday\, July 15\, at 7:30 PM ET to hear about his book\, “Banned Book Club.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRyan is a true Troublemaker who once flew 7\,000 miles from South Korea to Kentucky to challenge a ban on “Banned Book Club.” Book bans are more than just a professional obstacle for him – his partner and her friends were imprisoned and tortured for supposedly being communist sympathizers.  \nIronically\, the book\, which follows a college student who joins a secret reading group\, has been challenged in states like Kentucky and Florida for “anti-police sentiment” and “creating dangerous anarchists in our schools\,” according to one would-be banner in the Sunshine State.1  \nIn the end\, though\, Hyun Sook and her friends helped make Korea a free country. That’s the inspiration we need right now! \nDon’t miss your chance to hear Ryan share the incredible true story behind the book and talk about the importance of defending free expression and fighting book bans in the United States today. \nRSVP now for our July Banned Book Club: “Banned Book Club” with co-author Ryan Estrada on Wednesday\, July 15 at 7:30 PM ET. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP NOW

SUMMARY:Red Wine & Blue: WHY ELECTRIC BILLS ARE SKYROCKETING
DESCRIPTION:Families across the country are opening their electric bills and asking\, “Why are my energy costs so high?” The reasons behind skyrocketing costs are complicated\, but policy decisions made by our elected officials have a major impact on what we pay each month. Join us to hear from experts from EDF Action to learn what’s really driving these higher energy bills. We’ll talk about the impact of growing energy demands\, fuel shortages\, and efforts by extremist politicians to dismantle clean energy programs. Come get informed\, separate fact from fiction\, and take action to fight for an energy system that works for all of us. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSIGN UP NOW

SUMMARY:Red Wine & Blue: Why Electric Bills are Skyrocketing
DESCRIPTION:Feeling anxious every time you get your electric bill? Prices for everyday goods have been rising for months with no relief in sight and energy costs are no exception. When you open those electric bills\, are you wondering “why do the numbers keep going up?” \nTo help answer that complicated question\, we’ve invited experts from the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) Action to learn what’s really driving these higher energy costs\, including the policies and politicians making it all worse. \nJoin us Tuesday\, July 28 at 7:30 p.m. ET for Why Electric Bills Are Skyrocketing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis summer\, between heat domes\, dangerous storms\, and toxic wildfire air\, we’ve seen how the impacts of climate change impact our lives. It’s a terrible time for extremist politicians to be dismantling clean energy programs – but that’s exactly what they’re doing!1 \nSome of the same politicians who claim to care about the cost of living also support data centers\, which require massive amounts of energy to operate\, AND the Iran war\, which is spiking oil prices around the globe. \nOur friends from EDF Action will also talk about the effect of growing energy demands and fuel shortages as well as solutions\, including investing in clean energy to lower costs and reduce pollution. \nCome get informed\, separate fact from fiction\, and learn how to take action to fight for an energy system that works for all of us. \nRSVP now for Why Electric Bills Are Skyrocketing\, Tuesday\, June 28 at 7:30 p.m. ET. \n

SUMMARY:Yes Wine + Blue: THE LATEST IN CENSORSHIP: ERASING HISTORY IN OUR NATIONAL PARKS
DESCRIPTION:Over 433 parks\, sites\, and monuments fall under National Park Service protection\, and this administration is working to remove or alter historical displays. These are the plaques your family reads on a road trip or the talk your kid hears on a field trip. These attacks target Black American and Indigenous history\, and even limit information on climate change and the environment. A group of current and former park rangers have had enough. They’ve formed the Resistance Rangers to fight back. Join us to hear from their founder\, learn what’s happening in parks across the country\, and find out how you can help fight back. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSIGN UP NOW

SUMMARY:Red Wine & Blue: EXTREMISM IN OUR SCHOOLS: WHY ABSTINENCE-ONLY SEX ED IS BACK
DESCRIPTION:Extremists are pushing a curriculum that tells students abstinence until heterosexual marriage is the only acceptable choice while withholding medically accurate information young people need. These programs ignore topics like consent\, contraception\, healthy relationships\, and LGBTQ+ inclusion. Join us to hear from Advocates for Youth and Answer about why these programs are back\, what’s driving it\, and what’s at stake for students and families. We’ll discuss the impact on young people and what parents\, caregivers\, and community members can do to advocate for evidence-based sex education. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSIGN UP NOW

SUMMARY:Red Wine & Blue: THE PLAN TO PROTECT YOUR VOTE WITH STACEY ABRAMS
DESCRIPTION:Across the country\, extremists are limiting when and where we can vote\, creating new barriers to registration\, and spreading lies about the security of elections. From the push to pass the SAVE America Act in Congress to state voting legislation and ballot initiatives\, we know this isn’t about protecting our elections – it’s about power. No one understands this moment – or what comes next – better than Stacey Abrams. Join us to hear her explain what we’re up against\, what we need to do to protect every vote\, and what each of us can do right now. The good news is that people across the country are fighting back. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSIGN UP NOW
