Marchers will then proceed to the Center for Hawaiian Studies for the 6 p.m. rally, speeches and performances.
“This is a celebration of our progress and of our continued dedication to safety—ending all forms of violence and promoting a culture that fully reflects women’s rights,” said organizer Fawn Jade Koopman, a student in the William S. Richardson School of Law.
