SUMMARY:Selma Sisters March On
DESCRIPTION:Sixty years ago\, two teenage sisters walked into history and Selma Sisters March On tells their extraordinary story. The film follows Alice and Denise\, just 16 and 14 years old\, who were among the 300 chosen to walk the entire four-day\, 54-mile march from Selma to Montgomery. Having watched their parents turned away again and again while attempting to register to vote\, the sisters channeled that anger and heartbreak into action\, crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge alongside John Lewis and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the historic final day of the march. \nJoin us to screen the film — and then we’re honored to welcome the sisters themselves to answer questions and share what they hope the next generation learns from their experiences. \nSee you there! https://redwine-blue.zoom.us/meeting/register/4UGpsLdbRh2v-oWUyC-tuA

SUMMARY:The Plan to Defund Public Schools
DESCRIPTION:There is a coordinated effort to dismantle America’s public education system. Federal funding cuts\, the closing of the Department of Education\, expanding voucher programs\, and rollbacks to IDEA protections for students with disabilities aren’t isolated policy decisions — they’re part of a well-funded strategy. \nJoin Damaris Allen of Families for Strong Public Schools to learn who is behind these efforts and why privatizing schools and narrowing who gets access to a quality education is the goal. Find out what’s happening\, what’s at stake\, and how you can help fight back to protect our public schools and make sure every kid gets the education they deserve. \nSee you there! https://redwine-blue.zoom.us/meeting/register/2KUgYw2CThyt7rNMQzp_Wg

SUMMARY:Censorship 2.0: The Latest Trends in Book Banning
DESCRIPTION:While it may not be driving headlines\, book banning isn’t fading in America — it’s evolving. It might surprise you to learn that in 2025\, the American Library Association documented the second highest level of book censorship attempts ever\, and a record share of challenges are now resulting in books actually being pulled from shelves or restricted. Want to know what’s really happening in our libraries and who’s targeting books now? \nAs the 2026–2027 school year gets underway\, join Betsy Gomez of the American Library Association to understand the current landscape of censorship in America\, learn to recognize these trends in your own community\, and find out how you can push back. \nSee you there! https://redwine-blue.zoom.us/meeting/register/gWN_7twGRvOaVEbndrMNcg

SUMMARY:Back to School Civic Picnic: Protecting Our Public Schools
DESCRIPTION:It is easy to assume public education issues only matter during local school board races. However\, legislators and governors control the funding formulas\, classroom resources\, and voucher policies that directly shape our neighborhood schools. Every single office on your ballot impacts what happens inside our classrooms. \nThat is why Red Wine & Blue is gathering at Patriot Park Pavilion in Hershey on August 21st from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM for the Back-to-School Civic Picnic. This is an informal\, family-friendly gathering for parents\, educators\, and neighbors to connect and discuss current\, crucial education legislation affecting our public schools. Whether you want to swap a favorite read at our book swap\, pick up nonpartisan voter guides\, or sit under the pavilion and talk with fellow champions for public education\, your voice belongs here. Bring a book to trade and join us in standing up for our public schools!

SUMMARY:PA Public Schools: Challenges\, Changes and What's Next
DESCRIPTION:What’s Happening in Harrisburg and Why It Matters \nPublic education is shaped by decisions made at every level of government. While our local school boards make important decisions that affect our children’s classrooms\, they are guided by the funding\, policies\, and laws passed in Harrisburg. Join your neighbors for an engaging conversation about the biggest education issues facing Pennsylvania today. \nTogether\, we’ll explore what’s happening\, where advocacy is needed\, and how we can use our collective people power to protect and strengthen our public schools. After the discussion\, you’ll have the opportunity to meet local candidates who are committed to supporting public education. They’ll share their perspectives and\, more importantly\, listen to your questions\, ideas\, and concerns. \nThis event will be held in a private home in Coopersburg. The address and arrival details will be provided after you register.
