YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – At least 30 people participated in a protest in Yuma Saturday morning.
The protest, organized by Yuma County Indivisible, took place on the corner of Fourth Avenue and 16th Street at 8:00 a.m.
This is part of a nationwide protest called “Rage Against the Regime,” where over 300 cities across the country held similar protests Saturday.
The protest was in regards to the Trump Administration’s policies, such as immigration, tariffs, healthcare, and more.
KYMA spoke to Darlene Erwin, the organizer of the protest, who shared her thoughts on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, funder of NPR and PBS, announcing that they will be shutting down.
“That is horrendous to me. There’s so many things that are being shut down that we’ve had all our lives. My kids watch PBS [and] informative shows. It’s not just children’s shows, but, you know…educationally, these are things that are not going to just be on regular TV,” Erwin shared.
The protest lasted until 10:00 a.m.
