These conversations can be challenging! \nSo when you’re at a table with some friends and you hear one of them say\, “Well\, at least Donald Trump’s tariffs are good for the economy!” we know that you are ready to jump in with the facts about why\, actually\, Trump’s tariffs are not good for the economy\, and neither are several other things he’s doing\, and then give all the reasons . . . \nExcept\, did you know that debate like that usually doesn’t work?  \nThe truth is that trying to change minds through debate often backfires\, and words alone rarely shift opinions. That’s why we’re here with some unusual advice: Don’t talk politics. \nJoin us on September 4 at 7:30PM ET to hear from Dr. Sarah Stein Lubrano\, author of Don’t Talk Politics\, as she shares how to break through polarization\, build trust\, and turn everyday conversations into meaningful change. \nRSVP for How to Change Minds Without Talking Politics! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSarah is an Oxford-trained researcher who has a PhD in political cognitive dissonance theory – you know the feeling you get when you try to wrap your head around the fact that people in the most need of assistance tend to vote for politicians that advocate for cutting assistance? Yeah\, that’s cognitive dissonance.  \nHer latest book Don’t Talk Politics is a deep dive into how an increasingly polarized world has made us more close minded\, and how we can break through those barriers. \nShe is an expert in what changes people’s minds\, and she’s the perfect person to talk to us about how to change the minds of our friends and family so we can defeat extremists who are attacking our rights! \nJoin us next Thursday to learn why relationships\, community building\, and shared experiences are the best pathway to influencing and persuading others. It’s time to focus less on winning arguments and more on actually winning people over! \nRSVP to learn  the tools you can use right away to better connect with your friends\, family\, and community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP URL:https://pbcnow.org/event/dont-talk-politics/ LOCATION:Zoom or Other Virtual Platform ORGANIZER;CN="Red Wine & Blue":MAILTO:https://redwine.blue/contact-us/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250906T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250906T123000 DTSTAMP:20260526T032422 CREATED:20250816T220130Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250816T220130Z UID:6137-1757158200-1757161800@pbcnow.org SUMMARY:From DWC: Immigration Crisis Update DESCRIPTION:Hello DWC PBC members and friends\, please sign up now!. \nOn Saturday September 6\, 2025\, 11:30 AM\, Democratic Women’s Club of Palm Beach County presents\n“Immigration Crisis Update” with speakers Renata Bozzetto or Ana Maria Hernandez\, Florida Immigrant Coalition; others TBA. \nOur online meetings are protected by 2-step verification.

We gather all sorts of facts and figures to persuade them\, but it feels like we’re talking to a brick wall. They just won’t be moved! \nWhat if I told you there’s a reason for that? \nOn Thursday\, September 25 at 7:30PM\, we’re going to talk about why these divides exist and why presenting facts doesn’t seem to work. Red Wine & Blue is welcoming a team from Mindbridge\, the nation’s leading experts on using psychology and science to change hearts and minds.  \nRSVP for How to Bridge Divides and Build Connections with Mindbridge on Thursday at 7:30PM ET! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHave you ever had a conversation where no amount of “common sense” seemed to land? Or where the more you explained\, the less the other person seemed to hear you? You’re not alone! What can feel like stubbornness is often just how our brains are wired. \nMindbridge understands that to change hearts and minds\, you first must learn to access them. \nTheir team uses neuroscience and psychology to understand people’s motivations and what drives them to believe what they do. Together we’ll explore the hidden processes within our brains\, such as cognitive biases and unconscious shortcuts\, that influence how we see the world. \nThis will be an eye-opening discussion about the ways our minds can build both walls and bridges. We will give you practical tips for building stronger connections\, asking better questions to find common ground\, and navigating those sometimes tricky conversations! \nRSVP now for How to Bridge Divides and Build Connections! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP URL:https://pbcnow.org/event/thursday-730-stop-arguing-and-start-building-connections/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250922T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250922T203000 DTSTAMP:20260526T032422 CREATED:20250919T170332Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250919T170332Z UID:6239-1758569400-1758573000@pbcnow.org SUMMARY:From Red Wine & Blue: Meet Mrs. Frazzled DESCRIPTION:Sometimes it takes a kindergarten teacher to talk to someone acting like a little kid. \nThat’s why when Mrs. Frazzled\, a Pennsylvania school teacher\, started making TikToks explaining to Donald Trump why he needs to take responsibility for his actions\, she spoke to him just like she speaks to her kindergarteners – which is how she gained 2.5 million followers! \nNow Mrs. Frazzled’s frank and hilarious takes on the current state of education gets millions of views each time – and her next audience is Red Wine & Blue. \nMrs. Frazzled is going to join us on on Monday\, September 22nd at 7:30 pm\, to talk about why it’s more important than ever for us to speak out about public education!  \nRSVP now for Mrs. Frazzled Take RWB To School on Monday\, September 22nd at 7:30 pm. \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\nMrs. Frazzled knows firsthand what it’s like to go up against extremists who want to silence you\, and we knew we had to talk to her. \nShe will bring her trademark humor and honesty to the conversation.

And yet you are still here\, reading\, commenting\, protesting\, articulating a new future for the nation. And I am proud to be among you. \nThis is exactly how I feel. As the Founder of Red Wine & Blue\, I am lucky to have a front row seat to witness (and stand beside!) women who are making real\, positive change in their community. Every. Single. Day. \nAnd like Heather\, I’m also closely following the anti-democratic extremism we’re seeing across the country. She’s right – it’s exhausting. It’s a daily roller coaster ride between finding hope in our RWB community and fighting off despair. \nSometimes I need to call in a friend to help me make sense of it. And what better friend – and voice of reason – does Red Wine & Blue have than Heather Cox Richardson? Which is why she is coming to visit next week! \nJoin us next Wednesday\, September 24\, at 7:30pm ET for Our Best Chance to Save Democracy w/ Heather Cox Richardson! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeather’s joining us at an important moment. In the next six weeks\, we have the opportunity to fill thousands of school boards\, town councils\, and state legislative seats with local leaders who will stand up and fight with us. \nPeople have stood up and fought back. From librarians saying “no way” to Moms for Liberty to thousands of women joining Red Wine & Blue to tell their friends and family about the issues they care most about\, we are logging victories all the time. We need to talk about how to keep that energy going in this moment.  \nJoin us to hear from Heather as we explore how each of us can play a vital role in fighting back against extremism\, starting with where we live.

MYTHS DESCRIPTION:NEW PODCAST ALERT! From Red Wine & Blue: \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\nNow that we all have a little better handle on why the news is so crazy\, there’s another pressing question to answer: how can we make a difference without losing our shit? So in that spirit\, we’ve launched a brand-new pod that’s simply called “How To Not Lose Your Sh!t.” It’ll be hosted by Katie Paris\, the founder of Red Wine & Blue\, along with LaFonda Cousin\, our Chief People Officer\, yoga teacher\, and wellness expert. We’re so excited about this\, and you can grab a sneak peek right now! \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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere’s no shortage of myths and misinformation about autism and too often false information shapes how people think\, talk\, and even make policies that impact individuals with autism. Join us for this Ask Me Anything event where we will hear directly from individuals with autism and parents of autistic children as they share personal experiences\, debunk common misconceptions\, and discuss what true inclusion and support looks like.  Whether you’re looking to better understand autism\, support someone you love\, or push back against harmful narratives\, this is your chance to replace stigma with understanding and truth. \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 URL:https://pbcnow.org/event/lets-talk-about-autism-facts-vs-myths/ LOCATION:Zoom or Other Virtual Platform ORGANIZER;CN="Red Wine & Blue":MAILTO:https://redwine.blue/contact-us/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
