YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Protesters opposing President Donald Trump’s policies took to the streets of Yuma Saturday, joining a nationwide wave of demonstrations calling for change.
Dozens gathered for a “No Kings” protest, while hundreds were seen near Center Pointe, lending their voices to a broader national movement pushing back on presidential policies and behavior they say are concerning.
“Across the United States ends up being millions of us that go out to say we’re not in favor of what’s happening and in Yuma, it helps me to know I’m not alone.” said Linda, a protester.
Others echoed similar sentiments, saying there is strength in showing up alongside others.
“When people get together like this and all over the country, it’s powerful. And we’re here for each other because this is a crazy time in our country and our administration is a little…not a little…a lot off the rocker,” said Becky, another protester.
Protesters said they are frustrated with policies and decisions that, in their view, are hurting everyday Americans.
“Stop what you’re doing. Think about what the people really want and start focusing on that, rather than doing your own agenda for your own billionaire buddies,” said Roger, another protester.
