Making a welcome return to Seattle from his home, over the Rockies in Denver, is activist and instigator David Sirota. He visits with a timely new book, The Uprising: An All-Access Pass to the Populist Insurrection Brewing Across the Country (Crown). "Sirota chronicles how ordinary citizens on the right and the left are marshaling their frustrations with the government into uprisings across the country and analyzes the effectiveness and longevity of their efforts. Citing developments as disparate as progressive political victories in the Montana state senate and the rise of the California Minutemen militia, the author weaves entertaining case studies, keeping his tone conversational, the narrative fast-paced and the content accessible. Sirota hits numerous high notes ... this book presents a rousing account of the local uprisings already in effect." - Publishers Weekly. David Sirota is also a senior fellow at the Campaign for America's Future, and the founder of the Progressive States Network.
