Praise for For Louder Days: There is no one like Yotam Marom when it comes to his visionary perspective on the possibilities grounded in an organizers sense of the practicalities and a talent for springing the traps of widely shared assumptions. I have long looked to his fierce, clear, farseeing essays for insight. I consider him one of the most generous and important thinkers for the activist left, for anyone who cares about where we are and how to get to where we should be. I am so excited for this book. Rebecca Solnit, bestselling author of Hope in the Dark and Men Explain Things to Me
This book is a love letter to movementsand a challenge to them. Yotam Marom argues that love in political work means telling the truth, taking responsibility, and daring to build power rather than merely perform it. With vivid storytelling and practical insight, he calls us beyond habits that keep us safe but small, and toward the disciplined craft of strategy, leadership, and collective strength. For Louder Days is both tender and unsparing, and it arrives at a moment when we desperately need both. Michelle Alexander, bestselling author of The New Jim Crow
This book made me laugh, and cry, and dream. At once tender and fierce, Yotam writes with unguarded honesty about how we can be bigger, choose each other, tell the truth, and build the movements our people deserve. Varshini Prakash, co-founder and executive director of the Sunrise Movement
For Louder Days arrives when the billionaire pharaohs tighten their grip and the planet burns and too many of us have made a quiet peace with defeat. Yotam Marom demands that we stop running from leadership, from strategy, from the difficulty of working through conflict so that we can finally recognize our deeper kinship. Read this book. Let it trouble your comfortable despair. Raj Patel, bestselling author of The Value of Nothing and Stuffed and Starved
At a time when our countryand our movementsstand at a crossroads, For Louder Days challenges us to confront an uncomfortable truth: powerlessness isnt just imposed on us. It has become a habit. This book is not just about speaking truth to power; its about telling the truth to ourselves, and building the will and the strength to act on it. Philip Agnew, co-founder of Dream Defenders and Black Men Build
