The Peculiarly American Fantasy Of 'Stand Your Ground'
Caroline Light’s provocative and original book, Stand Your Ground: A History of America’s Love Affair With Lethal Self Defense, is making its official debut next week and you can pick up a copy at (where else?) Amazon but I’m sure it will be at your independent bookseller as well.

Harnessing the Power of the Public for Bold Change

We began this journey with a fundamental belief: Californians of all walks of life were ready for large-scale change.
