A new protest calling itself “Rage Against the Regime” is scheduled for Aug. 2 at the same Watson and Yuma intersection where June’s “No Kings” demonstration took place.
A flyer circulating online promotes the gathering as a direct response to federal immigration enforcement and the policies of former President Donald Trump, with bold hashtags including #F***ICE, #F***Trump, and #RageAgainstTheRegime. The protest is slated for 7 p.m., with attendees instructed to meet in the Walgreens parking lot. 
The flyer, visually striking with militant imagery and aggressive language, signals a more confrontational tone than June’s event, which drew roughly 100 attendees and remained peaceful. That protest, organized under the banner “No Kings,” coincided with a military parade in Washington and the president’s birthday. Though tensions were anticipated, Buckeye Police reported no problems.
Erin Marble, the event’s organizer, organized the previous Buckeye protest. She dismissed concerns about criticism posted online against her planned protests.
"I’ve protested in Buckeye before, and so I wasn’t really worried. I think the people who comment on those kinds of posts are all talk, no action," she said at June's protest.
Buckeye Police previously released a public advisory ahead of June’s event, affirming support for peaceful assembly while warning that they would intervene if protests became unlawful or violent. The department has not yet commented on the upcoming “Rage Against the Regime” demonstration.
The previous protest featured speakers who criticized the Trump administration's policies and expressed concerns over immigration raids and compromised representation in government.
This upcoming event appears to build on that momentum, tapping into continued national tensions surrounding immigration, policing, and political representation.
