Why I March


Maybe you’re looking for a fun, easy book that encourages by reminding you why we resist--and that you are not alone. If so, Why I March: Images from the Women’s March Around the World is perfect for you, and has just been released. The book features photographs by Getty Images from the Women's March of January 21, 2017, when five million people in 82 countries and on all seven continents marched together with one voice on so many intersecting issues of justice and equality. Why I March involves little reading, as it’s mostly photographs of marchers and signs from the women’s march, in various cities in the USA and around the world. And yet it can also involve lots of reading, as you can pore through every image on every page, reading each of the signs in each of the big, beautiful pictures. You can see the emotions on the faces of the marchers. Hear their sentiments through their signs. And be encouraged. We aren’t alone, and we will resist! 

Additionally, all royalties raised by the publication and sale of this book will be donate to several nonprofits affiliated with the March, and there are wonderfully useful pages with lists of resources at the back of the book. A great book for some great causes.
