Phoenix – Saguaros & Sabotage

No Kings, No Gods, No Masters! Rally Against the State and Fascism! AZ Capitol 10/18 11AM

Posted on 2025/10/12 - 2025/10/12 by Arms of The Saguaro

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!

One Last Hurrah of a Commercialized Fascist

What follows is the truest version of the story y’all can get me to tell. In covering an event of the scale we saw with Charlie Kirk’s memorial, especially being so widely broadcast as it was, one might assume there are not stories from the ground left to be told. May this be my counterexample…

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.

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

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.

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.

Phoenix: Help Reopen Anarchist Space, Make Total Destroy

by MAKE TOTAL DESTROY

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.
