She then went to Bennington to serve as one of the speakers at an event at noon sponsored by the law firm Weitz and Luxenberg, aimed at recruiting potential participants in a class-action suit against whoever is responsible for the PFOA contamination in the Hoosick Falls groundwater. The event attracted a large audience, filling the Greenwall Auditorium at Bennington College.
