In 2012, Sandra Fluke testified to the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee on women's health and contraception. She explained, “Just as we students have faced financial, emotional, and medical burdens as a result, employees at religiously affiliated hospitals and universities across the country have suffered similar burdens.” After Sandra’s impactful testimony was picked up by news outlets, Rush Limbaugh degraded Sandra on his show, claiming that contraception coverage was akin to government subsidized sex, and notably calling her a prostitute and slut.? ? We don’t need to tell you that the anti-women hatred unearthed by Sandra’s testimony is alive and well today, as are emboldened efforts to suppress voters. Today, Sandra is the President of Voices for Progress and an attorney who specializes in policy and legislative advocacy, and we are incredibly fortunate to have her as our keynote speaker for this virtual event.? ? On Sunday, Sandra will reiterate the important role of California in the national attacks we see on Democracy. All democracy starts at home, and our work matters not only in California, but serves to demonstrate to every other state in this country that defending and reforming our democracy is possible and is worth fighting for.?? ? Tickets for this unique event are only $10, supporting the LWVC's advocacy efforts for a thriving and accessible democracy in California and beyond.
