The People United: A Memoir of Hope and Resistance During Trump's First Term - Paperback

"A crucial and fascinating testimonial."-Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of Indivisible

"Chris Pickett's memoir stands out for its grounded, firsthand perspective and its focus on ordinary citizens who chose sustained civic engagement over outrage alone. This is not a pundit's account or a sweeping history; it is a personal narrative rooted in lived experience, local organizing, and the emotional toll of activism."

-Scott Olsen, Seattle Book Review

"If you believe that democracy is not a spectator sport, that the renewal of hope in this country lies in its grassroots activists, you couldn't read a more illuminating text than this one."

-Lynn Litterine, author of River Town Girl and member of Indivisible Montgomery

In this intrepid new memoir, Chris Pickett, founder and leader of the grassroots activist organization Indivisible Montgomery, takes us through the tumultuous, fast-paced launch of the anti-Trump resistance in 2016 to the end of his tenure in 2021. Amid setbacks and challenges, Chris delivers a message of hope and continued resistance to the authoritarian forces working to subvert American democracy. Because, as we saw during Trump's first term, the people united will never be defeated.
