Tuesday, May 13 at 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore: Miranda Spivack joins us for talk about Backroom Deals in Our Backyards
May 13 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Miranda S. Spivack, an award-winning journalist, is our special guest on Tuesday, May 13 at 5:30pm. Her new book, Backroom Deals in Our Backyards, is a groundbreaking look at how ordinary people are fighting back against their local and state governments to keep their communities safe. Spivack’s revealing take on a hidden dimension of American politics will outrage and educate anyone who cares about the forces shaping their own communities. Says Linda Greenhouse at Yale University, “Spivack not only demonstrates how government secrecy threatens democracy. She shows us how ordinary people can fight to make local government more transparent. This eye–opening and meticulously reported book is both a call to action and a road map for success.” Come be enlightened and inspired.
