Our story
November 5, 2024: First, there was shock, disbelief, and grief. We all had hoped for a different outcome, and to finally celebrate a female US President. Our hearts were aching for the America we once knew.
By January 20, 2025, the fire within us roared back, this time hotter than ever. We planned, prepared, organized, and on February 5th, we returned to Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway for our first protest. 100 of us showed up to stand against the Musk-Trump coup. We discovered that we were not alone. There, we learned about Matriarchy Rising, led by the indomitable Yvette Kay, who had organized resistance movements since the 2017 Women’s March. We joined hands.
By April 5, 2025, the 100 became 1,000 Kona residents who joined the Hands Off protests. On June 14th, 1,500 showed up to Kick Out The Clowns and declare No Kings in America.
While Kona may be a laid-back place, jokingly referred to as sleepy “Kailua Coma,” Kona Indivisible (KIND) is passionate about saving our democracy. Join us, meet like-minded folks, and Make America KIND Again.
A few of us formed a Steering Committee, and we’re always looking for passionate leaders. Whatever your level of interest, please join us and take action! We cannot wait to meet you.
