On January 21, 2017, the day after Donald J. Trump’s inauguration, more than three million marchers of all ages and walks of life had taken to the streets as part of the largest protest in American background. In red states 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 voice a common message: Listen to our voice.

It became the largest global protest in modern history.

Compiled by Women’s March organizers, together 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 entire chronicle of this remarkable uprising. For the very 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 journey in an oral history compiled by Jamia Wilson, article writer, activist and movie director from the Feminist Press. They offer an inside look at the way the idea for the function originated, how it was organized, how it became a global motion that surpassed their wildest targets, and how they may be sustaining and building in the widespread outrage, enthusiasm, and dedication that sparked it.

Collectively We Rise interweaves their tales with ‘Voices in the March’-recollections from actual women who have there been, around the world, and voiced by January LaVoy-and 22 brief, thought-provoking essays by esteemed authors, celebrities and performers 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. It also features the talented voices of Robin Mls as the narrator, Thérèse Plummer, and Wayne Fouhey. An inspirational proactive approach that reminds us that jointly, ordinary people can make a difference, Jointly We Rise is an unprecedented take a look at a day that made history-and the start of a resistance motion to reclaim our potential.

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