Congresswoman Judy Chu of California’s 28th Congressional District, which includes Claremont, made an hourlong appearance Monday at Scripps College’s Balch Auditorium to speak about the current political landscape surrounding reproductive healthcare and justice.

She also took students’ questions and held a brief conversation with a Planned Parenthood abortion provider with whose name was withheld out of privacy concerns.

The event was hosted by the Laspa Center for Leadership at Scripps College. Visit scrippscollege.edu/laspa for more info.
