If you’re part of the Red Wine & Blue community, you’ve heard us say it time and time again: what really changes minds — and elections — is personal conversations.
The official term is “relational organizing,” but all it really means is having conversations with people you know. They know you and trust you, which means they care a lot more about what you have to say than some political ad or stranger on Facebook.
Whether you mention something at Sunday dinner, in the carpool line, or at the neighborhood cookout, it’s all about connecting with people over your shared values.
This week, our guest Holli Holliday suggested throwing a party where you share videos of VP Harris’ amazing speeches alongside your wine and cheese (or coffee and donuts, or nachos and tequila!). She reminds us that we can’t afford to tiptoe around issues like race, gender, or politics. The stakes are just too high.
Extremists are counting on us being too “polite” to have these conversations and it’s up to us to prove them wrong.
