A longtime advocate for systemic social and political change, Sister Simone Campbell  is the executive Director of NETWORK in Washington DC, an attorney and poet.  Her “Nuns on the Bus” tour challenged economic injustice during the 2012 presidential  campaign, and she appears regularly in national media outlets.  Most recently she has been recognized for her work on healthcare reform  as it affects the working poor.  Sister Simone will speak about poverty in the United States, the effect on women and children and the path for progressive change.
