Report on recent anti-ICE block party in Phoenix, AZ. Originally posted to Saguaros & Sabotage.
Last night in the streets of downtown Phoenix, a hundred of the valley’s troublemakers and anarchists secured a victory for their communities against the occupying Phoenix Police Department. Roosevelt Row was taken back for the people between 4th and 2nd, with no traffic control or intervention by PPD. All of that was handled by the protesters with whatever barricades or cones could be found around the area.
The people on the street Saturday proved that you need nobody’s permission to act. You don’t need a permit, or an organization, to represent yourself and your beliefs on the street. In an era where social networking and communication have been so decentralized to the point of the individuals voice being amplified to hundreds or thousands of onlookers online the cadre and logistical apparatuses loaned to us by organizations are obsolete.
last night was a massive success. phoenix anarchists turned out in numbers. they seized and barricaded multiple intersections for several hours in solidarity with the risings against ICE across the country!
