We want you to come tell your truths by creating and posting them to our Wall of Truth which will be on display in the GSC. We will have truth-telling supplies for you. All you have to do is tell it. From March 7-8th we invite you to come create a “postsecret”* telling your truth as a feminist and post it to our board. It will then be displayed on our Wall of Truth in the GSC until the 11th.
