When the news broke that film producer Harvey Weinstein had been sexually abusing women for years, actress Alyssa Milano had had enough. She shared the hashtag #MeToo on Twitter, encouraging women to speak up about their own experiences with sexual harassment and assault. In the next forty-eight hours, the hashtag turned into a movement: nearly one million tweets included #MeToo, and in a single day, twelve million Facebook comments, posts, and reactions occurred.

Shortly thereafter, the once untouchable producer was kicked out of both his own company and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

So how did a simple hashtag inspire millions of women to raise their voices, start rallies from Paris to Vancouver, and spark a global reckoning? This mass movement displays new power at its finest: empowering, decentralized, adaptable. It crashed over Harvey Weinstein like a wave, toppling a beacon of old power, which is inaccessible, individualized, and jealously guarded.

To help us navigate this age of unprecedented connectivity, Lincoln Center President and #GivingTuesday founder Henry Timms has teamed up with Purpose CEO Jeremy Heimans to write New Power: How Power Works in Our Hyperconnected World—and How to Make It Work for You. If you want to tell a story that matters, fight for what’s right, and maybe even change the world, it's time to discover how new power works, and how to cultivate it yourself.
