Counter-Info for the Valley of the Sun
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.

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.
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

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!

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.

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).
