The essential guide to establishing an effective opposition movement in the age of Trump, from the leading activist and organizer
In For Louder Days: Reaching Beyond a Politics of Powerlessness, Marom offers a brilliant, lyrical clarion cry for a more honest, more strategic, more loving approach to progressive activism and movement building. Grounded in decades of experience in movements, from leading at Occupy Wall Street and other movement moments to supporting some of the most important climate, racial justice, and democracy movements of our time, Marom dives deep into the challenges that hold movements back, and offers stories, tools, and paths toward real power and enduring change.
Published at the most perilous time in our modern political history, For Louder Days comes not a moment too soon. It is essential reading for committed activists as well as the wider public concerned about the state of our world and hoping to change it for the better.

Yotam has trained and facilitated many of the leading social justice organizations of these times, from Sunrise and the Dream Defenders to Uncommitted and Hands Off NYC, and more. He lives in Brooklyn, and this is his first book.

“I consider [Marom] 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.” —Rebecca Solnit
“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 country—and our movements—stand at a crossroads, For Louder Days challenges us to confront an uncomfortable truth: powerlessness isn’t just imposed on us. It has become a habit. This book is not just about speaking truth to power; it’s 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
