WHY I MARCH, the first photographic tribute to the largest peaceful demonstration in history. The book will come out February 21st, exactly one month after five million people in more than 80 countries on all 7 continents stood up to challenge the dangerous rhetoric of an administration on inauguration weekend. The book takes readers on a global tour of the marches and features colorful, inspiring photographs that were provided in great part by Getty Images, which has partnered with ABRAMS.

The Women’s March began with one cause—women’s rights—but quickly became a movement around the many issues that were hotly debated during the 2016 U.S. presidential race—immigration, health care, environmental protections, LGBTQ rights, racial justice, freedom of religion, and workers’ rights, among others. In the mere 66 days between the election and inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States, 673 sister marches sprang up across the country and the world.

Featuring images of people in snow gear in Antartica, women holding “Love Trumps Hate” signs in Durban, South Africa, and little girls in the streets of New York City, WHY I MARCH is organized by continent and showcases the recurring themes of inclusion and intersectionality that the March so embodied. The book also includes an in-depth Resources Guide for activists, old and new, who are looking for next steps to keep the momentum going. This includes information on existing grassroots organizations all over the United States. ABRAMS Image presents WHY I MARCH to honor the movement, give back to it, and promote future activism in the same vein.
