On January 21, 2017, the day after Donald J. Trump’s inauguration, more than three million marchers of most ages and walks of life got to the roads as part of the largest protest in American history. In red areas and blue state governments, in small towns and major metropolitan centers, from Boise to Boston, Bangkok to Buenos Aires, people from eighty-two countries-on all seven continents-rose up in solidarity to tone of voice a common message: Listen to our voice.

It became the biggest global protest in modern history.

Published by Women’s March organizers, in partnership with Condé Nast and Glamour magazine Editor in Chief Cindi Leive, Collectively We Rise-published for the one-year anniversary from the event-is the complete chronicle of the remarkable uprising. For the first time, Women’s March organizers-including Bob Bland, Cassady Fendlay, Sarah Sophie Flicker, Janaye Ingram, Tamika Mallory, Paola Mendoza, Carmen Perez, and Linda Sarsour -tell their personal stories and reflect on their collective trip in an oral history written by Jamia Wilson, writer, activist and movie director from the Feminist Press. They provide an inside look at how the idea for the event originated, how it was organized, how it became a global movement that surpassed their wildest expectations, and how they are sustaining and building on the widespread outrage, enthusiasm, and perseverance that sparked it.

Collectively We Rise interweaves their tales with ‘Voices from your March’-recollections from genuine women who have there been, around the world, and voiced by January LaVoy-and 22 brief, thought-provoking essays by esteemed authors, celebrities and artists including those both written and read by Ashley Judd, Jia Tolentino, Cindi Leive, Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm, Sister Aisha Al-Adawiya, Melanie Campbell, Judith LeBlanc, and Ai-Jen Poo. In addition, it features the talented voices of Robin Miles as the narrator, Thérèse Plummer, and James Fouhey. An inspirational call to action that reminds us that collectively, ordinary people could make a difference, Together We Rise is an unprecedented look at per day that produced history-and the start of a resistance motion to reclaim our future.

Women’s March will share proceeds from Collectively We Rise with 3 grassroots, women-led institutions: The Gathering for Justice, SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, and Indigenous Ladies Rise.
