Tawfiq Rangwala - What WE Lost: Inside the Attack on Canada’s Largest Children’s Charity

What WE Lost is a fact-based, book providing an inside account from respected lawyer and former WE Charity board member, Tawfiq Rangwala, who stepped down from the board to author this book and take readers behind the scenes. The rise and fall of a major children’s charity is unlike stories we have seen before – and it sets the record straight. He cuts through the headline-grabbing controversies and offers a sober perspective on what really happened, why it happened, who was responsible, and who really paid the price.

Rangwala states: “I did not write this book to convince anyone to feel a certain way. I wrote it so the public can finally form a view based on all the facts, and then can fairly judge who really was scandalized and who did the scandalizing.”

“My father believed in both fighting for justice and in the power of youth to be agents for positive social change. So, I was saddened by the way in which political partisanship and unchecked media tore down WE Charity, which embodies those ideals. Tawfiq Rangwala tells the untold story behind the controversy that engulfed WE in a moving and powerful way.  This beautifully written book serves as a cautionary tale for allthose who care about fair play and will open your eyes to a profound injustice that should not happen again.” 

-- Martin Luther King III, human rights activist and eldest son of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King

“Reading _What WE Lost _was an incredibly educational experience—it should be part of civics classes everywhere.  While it was painful to absorb the stories of loss in each chapter and to come to terms with the societal costs that resulted from so much misinformation, thanks to Tawfiq Rangwala’s extraordinary work, the truth is revealed.” 

-- Martin Sheen, Golden Globe and Emmy award winning actor and activist

“If you have bought into the negative narrative about WE Charity, I challenge you to read this book… It is a sober, fact-based account of how and what occurred to pulverize one of thiscountry’s foremost charities.” 

-- Kim Campbell, former Prime Minister of Canada
