“What If We All Got Hammers?” A Report Back From an Autonomous Action in Phoenix
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
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.

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.

A comrade and I arrived at Arizona State University around 11 am on Friday, April 26, hoping to witness, support, and participate in the campus occupation in solidarity with the people of Gaza. We arrived to find a densely clustered collection of tents on the lawn of ASU’s Old Main building, surrounded by about 100 people chanting, singing, and drumming their expressions of solidarity with Palestinians and their condemnations of the Israeli state. Across from the protesters, blocking a lane of traffic on University Drive,was a similarly dense cluster of a dozen Tempe and ASU police cars. Their red and blue sirens flashed as the officers looked on at the nascent occupation, which they had failed to crush earlier that morning.

In the late afternoon of May 12th, a small crowd convened along the street at North Wilmot Road in Tucson, Arizona just outside of St. Joseph’s Hospital. The crowd numbered somewhere in the range of 50-100 people: an eclectic mix of local anarchists, subculturally-affiliated 20-or-30-somethings, boomer activists, petition circulators, journalists, at least one priest, and representatives of various activist organizations, including Derechos Humanos and the local Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) chapter—each clad in their usual bright red shirts.
