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.

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.

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.
