Through five eye-opening U.S. case studies, she introduces “accidental activists”—ordinary citizens who demanded answers when government officials failed to protect them.From car crashes and unsafe drinking water to faulty safety equipment, Spivack’s investigative reporting reveals the hidden deals, lies, and cover-ups that often keep communities in the dark—and celebrates the local heroes who stand up for accountability and transparency.Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from Spivack about the stories behind her book and the crucial work of citizen advocacy in safeguarding our neighborhoods.
