Created last month by two Henderson County school teachers, POW has been holding (respectful) protest rallies at the same site for the past several weeks; they now draw as many as 300 people every Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. In the past three weeks, the closed group Facebook site has signed on over 600 members (300 more are involved who aren’t on social media). A website is currently in the works.
