The original ‘wine moms’ are in Ohio. They’re mobilizing to support Haitians in Springfield.

Katie Paris, founder of Red Wine & Blue, a suburban women's organization with over 600,000 members, hosted a Zoom meeting for more than 4,000 participants to support Springfield, Ohio's Haitian community facing potential immigration enforcement. The organization, which started in Ohio in 2019 and expanded to key swing states, focuses on mobilizing suburban women—a politically powerful demographic that helped determine recent elections—through grassroots, friend-to-friend organizing rather than traditional advertising campaigns. During the Tuesday night call, participants heard from local religious leaders, charity workers, and legal experts about how to support Haitian residents whose Temporary Protected Status was set to expire, despite a federal judge's temporary block.
