About the Book

Cory Booker captivated Americans across the political spectrum in early 2025 with his remarkable 25-hour speech on the Senate floor, when he spoke out forcefully against the Trump administration's relentless challenges to civil liberties, government institutions, the rule of law, and our nation's international standing. In the process, he outlasted the record for longest continuous Senate floor speech set by segregationist Strom Thurmond during a filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957, which was delivered at another time of great uncertainty when it felt like the odds were hopelessly stacked against justice and unity. Stand expands on that message and offers a compelling vision for the future to readers who are eager to make a difference. It focuses on the virtues that are vital to our success as a nation and the lessons we can draw from past generations of Americans who fought for them. Now is not the time to surrender to cynicism or abandon our most noble ideals. Now is the time to defiantly declare, like our ancestors before us: "I, too, stand for America." Stand is a celebration of the Americans who chose to get up in the face of injustice, who championed the uniquely American values central to making our nation a more perfect union, despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It is also a guide for today: leadership is not derived from position or title, it comes from action and example.

Review :

"Stand captured my mind and my heart. Through Booker's gifted storytelling, a series of virtues essential to our civil society are made concrete by tales of individuals who stood up in times of danger and adversity. These powerful stories evoke our emotions. They inspire us. They give us strength." --Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Leadership: In Turbulent Times

"With energy, insight, and a passion for the best of the American tradition, Cory Booker has issued a compelling and invaluable summons to what Lincoln called our 'better angels.' In an hour of political and moral crisis, Stand not only illuminates the problem but points us toward solutions. This is an important, suprapartisan work that deserves careful consideration by all Americans who long for a ceasefire to the total war our politics has become." --Jon Meacham, author of And There Was Light

"A stirring reminder of the central importance of virtue in a free society. Sen. Booker offers a roadmap not only for realizing the ideals of a more perfect union, but also--and perhaps more importantly--for carrying out the day-to-day practicalities of governance, activism, and community-building. Inspiring, moving, and beautifully written, Stand is mandatory reading for all Americans who seek inspiration in a country and world beset by constant crisis." --Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard University
