Saguaros & Sabotage – Counter-Info for the Valley of the Sun

Sonoran Anarchist Convergence

Posted on 2025/11/10 - 2025/11/10 by Arms of The Saguaro

When/Where: 1pm to 6pm, Saturday, November 29th. Wasted Ink Zine Distro on McDowell & 5th Avenue in Phoenix.

The Southwest stands as both a crucible and a casualty of empire, a scorched frontier where settler colonialism, capitalist extraction, and technological “progress” converge in ritual violence against land and against life. From greenwashed data centers to uranium and copper mines polluting Indigenous lands, the region reflects the on going violence empire relies on in order to survive.

This gathering is an invocation a space to trace the lines of power and extraction, and imagine insurgent ecologies beyond the machinery of civilization.

This gathering is a chance to learn from one another across state lines and frontlines to share stories of past and present resistance, build connections across our diverse movements, and explore ways to defend land, water, and community against the forces that seek to divide and exploit us.

Join us on November 29th at Wasted Ink Zine Distro 1pm-6pm

Send workshop proposals or questions to SonoranAnarCon@proton.me

An Ecological Argument for Independence

The following was first distributed as a short pamphlet for No Kings II in Downtown Phoenix

Export oriented agriculture is killing us. Arizona is not barren, and our methods for farming (human) food are unmatched in their water efficiency. What has drained our rivers and killed our soil is growing feed for foreign livestock. Our lives hang on by short term agreements made with bordering states over who can squander how much of the Colorado River.

Aside from the rivers, our groundwater is being poisoned with heavy metals and the runoff of Uranium mining (which encroaches on the lands of our Havesupi neighbors to the north). For as long as we let D.C. keep us under their heel, this will go on for the sake of their military industrial complex.

Then how do we break free from the grip of the Federal government? How do we seize the local self determination to save our own lives? The shutdown proved how thoroughly this regime has stripped the state apparatus of token programs meant to keep us dependent on them. All it has to offer are the agents occupying our cities. Sixty confirmed ICE raids culminating in hundreds of kidnappings have been documented over just this summer.

Instead of being the Empire’s borderlands, this could be known as our land. We don’t need to stay a possession of some Imperial force. In modern times, the only way anyone will survive here is if we reject those frameworks seeking to impose themselves on us and build our own to suit ourselves.

No Kings, No Gods, No Masters! Rally Against the State and Fascism! AZ Capitol 10/18 11AM

Posted on 2025/10/12 - 2025/10/12 by Arms of The Saguaro

October 18th, 11 AM. AZ State Capitol, on the Senate building lawn, Phoenix AZ

The situation we face is becoming untenable.

We watch in horror as masked agents of the state abduct our neighbors and loved ones off the street, as our already delicate system of rights and liberties is quickly erroded, and as the relentless extraction from our earth for the benefit of the state and capital brings us closer to extinction.

This is a call for all anarchists and anti authoritarians in so-called Arizona to show up and stand in solidarity with our community against the rise of fascism. It is a call to be among those people who have grown tired of liberalism, to welcome them into autonomous movements and ways of acting. It is a call to snap out of paralysis and into action against the order that maintains this brutality, to spread anarchy across the Valley and beyond.

Gather on the lawn in front of the Senate building, look for our black flags and banners. bring materials to share, distro, and have fun!

What follows is the truest version of the story y’all can get me to tell. In covering an event of the scale we saw with Charlie Kirk’s memorial, especially being so widely broadcast as it was, one might assume there are not stories from the ground left to be told. May this be my counterexample…

Community Defense Against ICE: An Interview with a Member of the Tucson Rapid Response Network

Posted on 2025/07/18 - 2025/07/18 by Arms of The Saguaro

This interview was originally posted to Living & Fighting

Over the last seven months, the Trump administration has taken sweeping measures to further detain, deport, and destroy the lives of immigrants. It’s an effort that has resulted not just in the bombastic cruelty of sending hundreds of detainees to a notorious El Salvador prison or building a detention center in the alligator-and python-infested swamplands of Florida, but also in a steep increase in immigrations arrests across the country (in Arizona, they’re up 113% since the inauguration). In June, in response to a government call for and subsequent spike in Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids and kidnappings, the people of Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Austin, Tucson, and other cities across the country protested and rioted on behalf of themselves and their families, friends, and neighbors. Despite the fierce commitment and bravery of those in the streets, the government’s mass deportation efforts are likely to only accelerate. As we seek ways to respond to these ongoing threats, we can look to—among other examples—rapid response networks, which have long existed in cities across the country, including Tucson.

What follows is an interview conducted by Living & Fighting with a member of the Tucson Community Rapid Response Network. In this interview, they discuss the history the network, what it’s accomplished and the challenges it’s faced, and what principled community response to deportations could look like in the coming months and years.
