Attorney, Social Justice Advocate
<ul><li><b>Making our Voices Heard</b></li><li>In this presentation, social justice attorney Sandra Fluke expertly surveys legal, political, and legislative trends that have the potential to advance or hinder the progress of social and economic justice, including such topics as campaign finance reform, gender equality, LGBTQ rights, economic inequality, reproductive justice, and more. 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 answers questions regarding her experiences as a candidate for a state legislative seat and 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.</li></ul>
