So she and others formed the group “Matriarchy Rising.”
Not long after the group started, word about a proposed “Women’s March on Washington,” started by Maui resident Teresa Shook, began to spread across the country. As of Thursday evening, more than 170,000 people indicated on Facebook they were going to the Jan. 21 march in the nation’s capital, scheduled for the day after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. The Kona march will begin at 3 p.m. starting south of Henry Street along the makai side of Queen Kaahumanu Highway. The march will go north along the highway before turning at Palani Road and ending at The Edible World Institute off Kopiko Street.
A Hilo march is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Mooheau Bandstand.
As of Thursday evening, 162 people indicated they’d be attending the Kona march with 190 more registering their interest.

I looked for your comments, but they must have been removed.
