Your America

Democracy's Local Heroes

BY JOHN SICELOFF AND JASON MALONEY

Brief Description:
Twelve profiles of civic activism on both a national and local level. Each is the result of a story on Now, the popular PBS show, Stories like Bill Graham, mayor of tiny Scottsburg, Indiana, who took on the telecom giants and wired his town for free wifi; or Katie Redford, a young law student who used the Alien Tort Claims Act of 1789 and changed the way American corporations behave overseas. This book provides a blueprint for working together locally to create a better global community.
