Yuma locals stand together for worker’s rights during nationwide May Day protests

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Yuma locals gathered Thursday morning to create awareness for what they say is worker's rights being taken away as part of a nationwide May Day protest.

"We will not be silenced, no kings, no tyrants," chanted protesters.

The protesters spoke out against President Trump, his administration, and Elon Musk.

They say they want to bring attention to the federal firings.

The group also spoke up for migrant workers.

"Every person has a right to work and he's just getting rid of a lot of that, so we just need to focus on our rights," said Nancy Patrick, a protestor.

The protesters say they will continue to speak out and use their voice until they see changes being made.
