The Women's March here at the Capitol was marvelous and quite well organized. Defying the rainy, windy weather, the turnout, estimated 9,000, was an irrepressible rainbow of people of all ages - women, babies, boys and girls and plenty of men. The speeches were inspiring and powerful - so many strong women leaders in our community lifting up the positive, and each other, for a better future for our daughters and our sons. In a tribute to Queen Liliʻuokalani, Hawaiʻi's great heroine of non-violent leadership, a group of young Hawaiian activists, gave a stirring reading of her Letter of Protest to the United States, after the Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom Government. I hope Civil Beat captured some of great speeches and many highlights of this day. This was a historic day in Hawaiʻi Nei!
