National radio commentator, writer, public speaker and author from Texas, Hightower is a fiery and humorous leading voice for what he calls “the 80 percent of the public who no longer find themselves within shouting distance of the Washington and Wall Street powers at the top.” He will discuss his latest book, Thieves in High Places: They’ve Stolen Our Country and It’s Time To Take It Back, in which he asks the questions: What kind of country do you want America to be? Not only for you, but for your children and theirs? Hightower digs into the abuses of power by government and corporations, but also brings to the table uplifting stories from thriving activist networks around the country that are retaking control of their communities.
