PRINCETON, NJ — Robert Stack, Founder, President and CEO of Community Options, continues to expand the national conversation on disability rights through his USA Today Best Seller, Silent No Longer: Advancing the Fight for Disability Rights. Stack is wrapping up his 20th stop on a national book tour, with additional bookstore events, media interviews and speaking engagements planned throughout 2026.

Since the release of Silent No Longer, Stack has been featured in podcasts and news interviews nationwide and has appeared at various independent bookstores for author signings and public discussions focused on disability rights and the need for reform in disability services.

“Every stop on this tour is an opportunity to bring disability rights into conversations where it has too often been overlooked,” said Stack. “The message of Silent No Longer is clear: people with disabilities deserve better, and our systems must reflect that.”

In addition to public events, Stack has brought his advocacy into academic spaces as a guest lecturer at New York University, the College of Staten Island, and St. Mary’s University, where he has engaged students in conversations about disability rights, inclusion and community-based supports.

Silent No Longer is an eye-opening nonfiction exposé that examines the systemic mistreatment of people with disabilities and raises awareness about the growing influence of profit-driven care models, including private equity investment in long-term care and disability services. The book calls for urgent change to restore dignity, choice and community inclusion for people with disabilities nationwide.
