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 is a partial report back. I wasn’t able to make it by 6:00 but I did make it to the ICE Headquarters in time to see the following event by the Party for Socialism and Liberation. I knew from the moment I arrived that nobody holding a megaphone that night would be keen to hand it to such a radical as myself and so I fell into a mode of operation I’m comfortable with around Marxist organizations- that of a reporter. Maybe this time I was in a ski mask, but I dedicated my time there to forming an analysis of their tactics and organization in light of my experience witnessing political movements from across all of the possible political spectrums (from economic to social to schizophrenic).

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!
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…

Saturday October 4th, 4pm, Tempe Beach Park
Solidarity is a verb. True solidarity comes from the ground up. This event centers autonomous organizing outside of instituutional frameworks. Let us come together to strengthen our networks of collective resistance and community care.
Come connect, learn, and take action!

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.

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.
