“I extend my deepest appreciation to my friend and advisor Michael Wicks. His unwavering support and insightful direction have shaped the trajectory of this work, refining its essence and ensuring its coherence.” – Robert Stack
“Social change occurs when an insight is wedded to an irresistible force. Robert Stack is such a force. His insight has been that some rights are unreal unless there are community infrastructures for them. This is the story of his heroic work making real the rights of the disabled.” – George F. Will, Award-Winning Columnist
From one of the nation’s most dedicated advocates for those with disabilities, an exposé of the insidious takeover of disability supports by private equity firms and a clarion call for urgent systemic change in a broken industry that has mistreated millions.
Since ancient times, people with disabilities have been ridiculed, ignored, and even tortured—and while this problem has plagued society for far too long, the media has largely turned a blind eye to it.
Silent No Longer is the story of Robert Stack’s forty-year career in the disability industry, revealing the horrible neglect that persists today and asking why tens of thousands of people are still unnecessarily incarcerated in institutions that fail them. Stack is a veteran of the industry and the founder and CEO of Community Options—one of the largest non-profit organizations supporting persons with disabilities today—and offers a firsthand account of the neglect and abuse he has witnessed in his decades of advocacy.
