SUMMARY:Red Wine & Blue:Level-up your storytelling for change
DESCRIPTION:Facts and data matter when it comes to shaping our opinions\, but our emotions drive us first\, and it’s stories that really move us. What is more persuasive – hearing that 22 million people saw their health insurance premiums double when the Affordable Care Act subsidies expired\, or hearing the story of your friend who had to put off a necessary medical procedure because she couldn’t afford her insurance? \nWe’ve all seen and felt how powerful it can be to hear other people’s stories\, especially when it comes to influencing and inspiring others to think differently or consider other points of view. \nThat’s why good storytelling is necessary in our journey to making the world a better place\, and we’re going to talk about how to do it! \nRSVP for The Art of Storytelling: How to Influence and Inspire Others on Tuesday\, January 13 at 7:30 p.m. ET. \nJoin us as we talk with Dr. Melanie Green from the University of Buffalo. She’s an expert on narratives and stories\, and how storytelling can change the way people think and behave. She has studied how stories can persuade thinking on social issues\, so her insight will be invaluable! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen I think about what has shaped my own values and made me so passionate about our work\, I think about people – the people I love and the people I’ve met here who have generously shared their stories with me with trust and vulnerability. \nPersonal stories are what make people really understand the impact of laws and policies at a deeper level\, and care about it. That’s why stories are one of the most powerful tools for change. \nThis event will help you sharpen your own storytelling skills so that you can level-up the way you talk to others about politics. Join us to learn what makes a story truly compelling and how to use personal stories to move people in ways that data alone can’t. \nYou’ll learn how to craft narratives that connect with people emotionally\, communicate your values\, and inspire others to care the same way that you do. We’ll give you the practical tools and the confidence you need to influence others and make an impact. \nYou can use these skills anywhere\, whether you’re talking to a friend\, mobilizing people in your community\, or leading an organization. Our power is in our stories\, so let’s learn together from Dr. Green and make an even bigger impact this year.

SUMMARY:From Red Wine & Blue: How We Choose Who’s in Charge
DESCRIPTION:Determining who ends up in power isn’t always as simple as some of those songs we learned in elementary school made it seem. With some state primary elections right around the corner\, we’re starting our Civics Salons right away to help you feel confident and ready. \nJoin us on Thursday\, January 15 at 7:30 PM ET for our first Civics Salon of the year\, Voting 101: How We Choose Who’s In Charge. \n\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 wondered why our elections work the way they do? And why does it seem like some votes count more than others\, especially when the stakes are high? \nWe’ll break down the basics about how our voting systems work\, including things like ranked choice and proportional voting. You’ll leave this Voting 101 session with a clearer understanding of these systems and how they help shape our political leadership. \nJoin us for this informative look at how we vote in the U.S. and who decides all the rules we follow. \nWe’ll look at how our voting districts are created and why some of them look like snakes and ducks. You might be surprised by how we got here and why battles over redistricting and gerrymandering are still being fought today. \nThe history of voting rights in America hasn’t always been as fair as we’d like to think\, so we’ll also discuss what reforms could make our systems live up to the promise of our representative democracy. \nWe’ve got a lot of work to do to win some pivotal elections this fall\, so let’s get back to basics first and make sure we all feel informed and ready to go.

SUMMARY:From Red  Wine & Blue: author and historian Heather Cox Richardson is back to reflect on the past year and how we can move forward together
DESCRIPTION:One year ago\, over 40\,000 of us gathered on Zoom with Heather Cox Richardson to stay grounded and focused just hours before Donald Trump was inaugurated. \nIn the 12 months since\, we’ve seen assaults on immigrants and people who want to protect them; skyrocketing prices; attacks on voting\, health care\, and reproductive rights; deadly state violence; and much more. \nBut in the face of it all\, we’ve joined together and won important state and local elections\, spoken truth to power\, and built new communities along the way. We started groups\, marched\, voted\, donated\, and didn’t back down from difficult conversations. To put it simply\, we never gave up – and our work isn’t over. \nTo help us prepare for the months ahead\, author and historian Heather Cox Richardson is back to reflect on the past year and how we can move forward together. On the first anniversary of the inauguration\, Heather will break down the chaotic assaults on our democracy\, institutions\, and everyday citizens and help lay out where we can go from here. This conversation is not just about naming what’s gone wrong; we are calling out positive changes and ways to take meaningful action. \nJoin us Tuesday\, January 20 at 7:30 p.m. ET for an important virtual event\, Stand Together w/ Heather Cox Richardson: One Year Post-Inauguration. We will recommit to taking meaningful action against a lawless government!  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the 2025 elections to cracks that are forming in the MAGA movement\, Heather will share why she believes people are turning away from extremism in favor of democratic values\, truth\, and community. \nWhether you are angry\, anxious\, or fearful\, now is the time to channel those feelings into action. Join us as we recommit to bringing positive change to our country and our communities. \nRSVP for Stand Together w/ Heather Cox Richardson now! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP

SUMMARY:From Red Wine &Blue: What’s the psychology behind extremist movements?
DESCRIPTION:From the “manosphere” to “tradwives\,” extremist movements are welcoming in more and more people. They use fear and “us vs. them” thinking to persuade and push people towards extremism. But if we understand how these tactics can be effective\, we can fight back against them! \nWe’ve invited the team at Mindbridge\, the nation’s leading non-profit using brain and behavioral science to empower human rights defenders\, to help us dive into the psychology behind today’s extremist movements. They will share research that helps explain how people end up in these harmful mindframes – and what we can do about it.Join us on Tuesday\, January 27 at 7:30 PM ET for a virtual event\, Understanding Extremism: The Psychology of Radicalization. \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\nFighting extremism and radicalization can be exhausting. But here’s the good news: the same psychological forces that allow extremist movements to thrive can also be used to defeat them. \nWe know you want to change hearts and minds. The first step is understanding the people you want to influence and the unconscious biases and stereotypes that pull us apart. Don’t miss this event! \nJoin us for this science-based perspective on political movements and social change. \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
