‘Social justice advocate’ Sandra Fluke to speak at Castleton in April

Sandra Fluke, who was a Time Magazine “Person of the Year 2012″ nominee, will speak at Castleton on April 25 at 7 p.m., the college announced in a press release.

Fluke gained national attention after she testified before a House panel on the need to provide access to contraception, then was ridiculed on air by conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

She will survey  ‘local, state and federal legislation and legislative trends that have the potential to advance or hinder the progress of social justice,’ according to the college, in a presentation called “Making Our Voices Heard.”

Tickets for this performance are available at the Fine Arts Center Box Office and are free of charge.  For more information or to reserve tickets, please call the box office at (802) 468-1119.
