Phoenix, AZ: Report Back on Autonomous Demonstration Against ICE

Posted on 2025/06/24 - 2025/07/08 by Arms of The Saguaro

This reportback was originally posted anonymously to It’s Going Down

Report back from Phoenix, AZ on recent autonomous demonstration against ICE. 

There was a call for an autonomous action in downtown Phoenix this past Saturday. In contrast to the usual events sponsored by the PSL and other do nothing boring-ass orgs, this one appeared more promising. That evening, my friends and I headed to Roosevelt street to see what the night would be.

Posted on 2025/06/21 - 2025/06/26 by Arms of The Saguaro

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.

“Claim No False Victories: a Report Back From a (Failed) Deportation Defense” Zine

Posted on 2025/05/27 - 2025/06/21 by Arms of The Saguaro

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.

From the Border Wall to the Freeway and Red Light Cameras, Death to the Surveillance State!

Posted on 2025/05/20 - 2025/05/20 by Arms of The Saguaro

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.
