band together
Form a coalition
To band together is to unite with others for a common purpose, especially in response to a threat or challenge: The neighbors banded together to oppose the development.
The phrase emphasizes collective action—people forming a group who might not otherwise associate: Small businesses banded together to negotiate better rates.
