Sandra Fluke

In this presentation, women's rights speaker Sandra Fluke expertly surveys local, state, and federal legislation and legislative trends that have the potential to advance or hinder the progress of social justice. Her inspiring talk is nothing short of a call to audience members to make their own voices heard and create social change and legislative action on issues that are important to them. Fluke also discusses her notable experience in 2012 before a House panel, in which she passionately testified on the need to provide access to contraception. She discusses how even though she was raked over the coals by conservative political commentators, rather than respond in kind, she transformed the media focus into an opportunity to advocate for important social justice concerns.
