“Backroom Deals”: Local Govt. Secrets & Activism Reading (Corte Madera)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

A work of riveting narrative nonfiction based on years of original reporting, Backroom Deals in Our Backyards by Miranda S. Spivack tells the story of five “accidental activists”—people from across the United States who started questioning why their local and state governments didn’t protect them from issues facing their communities and why there was a frightening lack of transparency surrounding the way these issues were resolved. The secret deals, lies, and corruption they uncover shake their faith in government but move them to action. Joined in-conversation with Steve Young.
