The following reportback was submitted to us anonymously for publication:
“On the evening of June 14th, 2025, a mostly-Anarchist “demonstration” was planned on Phoenix’s Roosevelt Row. While details of the events were left sparse, the location and a time of 8PM were disseminated widely on social media as well as at other local protests earlier that same day.
This is a report-back of someone on the ground and in observance of this action.
A Victory Statement: The Anarchist Block Party
Written and Experienced by Max Edison
Last night in the streets of downtown Phoenix, a hundred of the valley’s troublemakers and anarchists secured a victory for their communities against the occupying Phoenix Police Department. Roosevelt Row was taken back for the people between 4th and 2nd, with no traffic control or intervention by PPD. All of that was handled by the protesters with whatever barricades or cones could be found around the area.
Phoenix: Demonstration Against ICE, Against the Border Regime! Saturday 6/14 8PM
Saturday 6/14 8pm
4th Street and Roosevelt
Downtown Phoenix Roosevelt Row Demonstration Against Ice. Against the Border Regime.
Autonomous organization everywhere to break the repressive normality.This Saturday we show our strength with the simple demand, against all immigration enforcement, against ICE and against the southern borders. Assert that the land Arizona occupies has always been a place of migration. Where anyone can go back and forth freely. Our history is not a short one and we will defend and assert it.
The neighborhoods that rise consistently against these attacks should never be isolated.
So, we bring rebellion to economic centers that fuel state and capitals tenuous grip on normality. In solidarity with the neighborhoods that have rebelled for generations. In solidarity with fighters all over the country that show up daily against ICE, against the military and against the order that supports them.
We call on those who want to do the same, everywhere else. This weekend in the evening. Let’s make it happen.
Let’s head into the streets and build strength for the moments and years to come.
Saturday 6/14 8pm Downtown Phoenix Roosevelt Row 4th street and Roosevelt Against Ice. Against the Border Regime.
All are welcome. Feel free to write your own call for your group or crew.
Banners. Signs. Masks. Anything and everything is all good.

As the valley goes into summer, Phoenix keeps the heat on
Written and Experienced by Maxwell Edison
As we round the final stretch into June, we’re entering protest season and things are getting a whole other kind of hot out on the street (not just our temperatures reaching into the low triple digits). Mutual Aid, community building, and resistance against the growing fascist threat don’t take a pause for the weather, and on Saturday two groups did just those in spite of the sun.
“Claim No False Victories: a Report Back From a (Failed) Deportation Defense” Zine
from MBTA Distro
This zine and reportback was originally posted to the MBTA Distro website, discussing a failed action that took place on occupied Wampanoag and Narragansett land, so-called “providence, rhode island”.
Its analysis of the failures of the PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation), and how it chooses to portray these failures to its own benefit are pertinent to the struggles of anarchists across Turtle Island, and so we have chosen to repost it here.

article in zine format
By 7 A.M on April 8th, the Phoenix Convention Center ballroom was beginning to fill up. Attendees included local law enforcement and top officials from an alphabet soup of agencies: the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP), U.S. Customs and Border Protections (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

By G
On May 7th, 2025, the city of Tempe put its new Vision Zero plan into action, partnering with Mesa-based traffic and surveillance company Verra Mobility to erect 14 new red light cameras across the city. This comes 14 years after Tempe’s first traffic photo enforcement system, forced upon us courtesy of surveillance company Redflex, was deactivated in 2011. They claim that these new cameras, and the ‘enforcement’ that will come with them, are the solution to our dangerous roads. Rather than redesigning for pedestrian and driver safety, expanding public transit, or creating car free zones, city council has predictably seized upon the opportunity to expand the reach of policing and the surveillance state even further into our lives.

WHO THE FUCK
We’re just trying to make money to reopen our community space.
Destroy
In an effort to try and subvert existing structures, the homies in Phoenix have been trying to buy a bus. This bang bus will be used as a way to create, destroy, learn, unlearn, play, anti-work, and explore with one another. Phoenix lacks the kind of meaningful radical distribution that we envision and, rather than whining continually about the declining Cool People scene in the area, we’re just gonna do it ourselves.
