This new book is the story of his forty-year career, revealing the horrible neglect that persists today and asking why tens of thousands of people are still unnecessarily incarcerated in institutions that fail them. It is a resource for industry professionals and policymakers alike—and a demand that we restore dignity to those most vulnerable members of our society.

He is a pioneer in promoting community-based housing and workforce training, advocating against outdated institutional practices. Starting as a young civil servant in 1980, Stack led efforts to close large institutions and transition individuals to community settings, long before the ADA and Olmstead decision formalized these changes. In 1989, he founded Community Options to provide dignified living and employment opportunities for people with disabilities, which now serves over 5,000 individuals across 12 states. As president and CEO, Stack has continuously advocated for disability rights on national and international stages, addressing issues such as the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on institutionalized individuals and engaging with key government bodies to drive reform. Recently, he was appointed trustee of the Pennsylvania Advocacy and Resources for Autism and Intellectual Disability. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/baltimore/robert-stack-silent-no-longer-advancing-the-fight-for-disability-rights/100001975240841529 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, workshops, job-fairs - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Baltimore - **state**: MD - **country**: United States - **location**: Bird in Hand Coffee & Books - **lat**: 39.32785829999999 - **long**: -76.61671319999999 - **full address**: Bird in Hand Coffee & Books, 11 East 33rd Street, Baltimore, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Robert Stack: Silent No Longer: Advancing the Fight for Disability Rights - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/a8060df68037a43c8e456277aa922c2fc2c6de6c439d5cddb5abfffaffe76a8e-rimg-w1000-h450-dc4d456a-gmir.jpg?v=1763930925 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Robert Stack: Silent No Longer: Advancing the Fight for Disability Rights being held? - **A:** Robert Stack: Silent No Longer: Advancing the Fight for Disability Rights takes place on Fri, 16 Jan, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Fri, 16 Jan, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Bird in Hand Coffee & Books, 11 East 33rd Street, Baltimore, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Robert Stack: Silent No Longer: Advancing the Fight for Disability Rights? - **A:** Robert Stack: Silent No Longer: Advancing the Fight for Disability Rights is organized by The Ivy Bookshop. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
