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

ALERT: Creeping Disparity

Posted on 2026/04/09 - 2026/04/09 by Arms of The Saguaro

This alert was contributed by a local medical professional in light of the City of Phoenix’s attack on Mutual Aid in city parks. Find links to Mark’s pay what you can and free clinic schedules at https://saguaros.noblogs.org/phoenix-medical-access-project/

There are estimates that 300,000-550,000 Arizonans have or will lose AHCCCS or Medicaid insurance coverage between 2025 and 2026. These cuts have manifested in the urgent cares I work for with declines in visit rates this 2025-2026 sick season, and an increase in private pay for services. These cuts have resulted in the necessity of urgent cares to start serving as primary care practices. I previously would pull toenails, debride (pop) cysts and abscesses, and suture (sew) people back together. I am now having to initiate and refill blood pressure medications, blood thinners, anti-seizure medications, and depression/anxiety/ptsd medications in a setting where I previously did not. Urgent care is an intermediary to prevent emergency department evaluation and preserve limited emergency medicine resources. The increase in primary and specialty care sought and provided at urgent cares is an insidious signal of current and impending disparity for our community.

No Kings III: The Dis-Organizer Report

Posted on 2026/04/04 - 2026/04/04 by Arms of The Saguaro

Introduction

There was a lot going on the 28th. To tell at least a little bit more of the story, here we have assembled three perspectives of the third No Kings march that took place in downtown Phoenix at (scratch that, near) the state capitol. Enjoy.

Launching the AZ Indymedia Coordination and Events Site

Posted on 2026/03/30 - 2026/03/30 by Arms of The Saguaro

This site was built to help with local coordination. Whether in Arizona or on the moon or anywhere between. Social media has made finding groups, friends and others tedious. Social and political events are almost impossible to keep track. So, we are updating the old way with a new framework. You will notice that in the coming weeks this project will become downloadable and usable by anyone. This is by design.

Arizona Indymedia is an open platform for anarchist coordination, mutual aid, and organizing across Arizona. Anyone can submit announcements, and events directly to the site — no account required. If you want your posts to publish instantly without moderation, you can register as a Group user, which gives you a saved username, immediate publishing, and the ability to edit your own posts after the fact. Commenters can register for a named account to participate in discussions with a verified username and star badge next to their name. All content is reviewed.

For groups and organizers, the platform makes it straightforward to get the word out. Submit an event with a date, time, and location — it will appear on the public calendar and the front page newswire. Post announcements, reports, or calls to action with images attached. Comments are open on every post. The site is built to be low-barrier and community-controlled — no algorithms, no ads, no corporate intermediaries. Just a direct line to connect.

The Events in January: A Minneapolis Notebook – Part 1

Posted on 2026/01/26 - 2026/01/26 by Arms of The Saguaro

the following reportback was originally posted anonymously to Living & Fighting

An anonymous partisan dispatched from the Southwest gives an account of a week spent battling ICE in the streets of the Twin Cities while navigating trauma, exhaustion, and the sublimity of a popular uprising. These notebooks were emailed to L&F anonymously.

January 17th

Things have been relatively quiet so far, we spent most of yesterday preparing logistics for the influx of out-of-towners. The people who have already been going hard here are stretched thin and very tired, many of them have been arrested and/or beaten by police and are trying to recover while also orienting new arrivals. It’s created a fertile ground for miscommunication and conflict but so far we’ve mostly been able to work through it and being here feels really good. I would caution anyone still planning to come to lock down your logistical needs and communicate them in great detail as far in advance as possible, and consider renting a car/sleeping space of your own if you can afford it.

A Memo on PSL Piggybacking of Local Demos

Posted on 2026/01/09 - 2026/01/09 by Arms of The Saguaro

This is a partial report back. I wasn’t able to make it by 6:00 but I did make it to the ICE Headquarters in time to see the following event by the Party for Socialism and Liberation. I knew from the moment I arrived that nobody holding a megaphone that night would be keen to hand it to such a radical as myself and so I fell into a mode of operation I’m comfortable with around Marxist organizations- that of a reporter. Maybe this time I was in a ski mask, but I dedicated my time there to forming an analysis of their tactics and organization in light of my experience witnessing political movements from across all of the possible political spectrums (from economic to social to schizophrenic).

Mid January Arizona Desert…ANARCHY CAMP let’s go (again)

Posted on 2025/12/23 - 2025/12/24 by Arms of The Saguaro

We are back.

We won’t stop.

We go to anarchy camp.

Anarchy Camps @ Skoolie/Camp/Fest Jan 23 – 31. **camp@anarchyplanet.org** for the coords and chat.

Many of you enjoy the camping/nomadic/traveling circuit already. Some of you are already going to Quartzite gatherings. We invite you to join or meet up with our camp. The intention is nothing more than to cultivate long term hangouts. Meeting old and new friends and such.

We are anarchists of the post left variety. This is not an anarchist book fair. Anarcholiberalism will not be tolerated. It is dirty and dusty out here. You will encounter all sorts of people. This is a large yearly gathering of people who spend most of their days on the road.

If that’s your thing. Get in touch. Let’s keep carrying on.

Ehrenburgh AZ. Find the black flags. Come early come late. Its one hell of a party.

**camp@anarchyplanet.org** for the coords and chat.

Generally though, just look for the black flags. Bring camping gear and anything you might need. Zines and tables are welcome! You will run out quick!
