OBS is one of 36 local cosponsors of the 2nd Annual St. Louis Women’s March on January 20th. Sistahs Talkin’ Back will help to coordinate OBS’s participation. This is an event that we hope will go beyond mobilization in inspiring and organizing women to work together around an agenda that builds power and influence. Right now, we have the momentum to create change in our lives and in our communities!
