“scott crow’s trenchant memoir of grassroots organizing is an important contribution to a history of movements that far too often goes untold.”
— Amy Goodman, host and executive producer of Democracy Now!
“The story of the Common Ground Collective is that of one of the greatest triumphs of democratic self-organization in American history. ”
— David Graeber author, Debt: The First 5,000 years
“The real story of the storm, the story of the majority, is of heroic acts of solidarity from the outset and of the million or so volunteers who came later. This book is a key document in that real and remarkable story”
— Rebecca Solnit, author, A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities That Arise in Disaster
