While the Phoenix City Council enjoys their summer vacation, our communities don't get a break. They had the power to defend our neighborhoods with the Resolution for Thriving Communities, but chose to reject it instead. The council returns on August 27th.
We'll be ready.

Mientras el Concilio Municipal de Phoenix disfruta de sus vacaciones de verano, nuestras comunidades no tienen descanso. Tuvieron el poder de defender nuestros barrios con la Resolución para Comunidades Prósperas, pero eligieron rechazarla.

El concilio regresa el 27 de agosto. Estaremos listos.

No police. No deportations. No cages.

Yes, to community care. Community defense. Community power.

——
No policía. No deportaciones. No jaulas.

Sí, al cuidado comunitario. Defensa comunitaria. Poder comunitario.

While they pour over a billion dollars into this violent system, Phoenix ranks among the worst in the nation for affordable housing, mental health services, and educational funding. When the DOJ found years of civil rights violations, Mayor Gallego and City Council had a moment to choose our communities. Instead, they chose to protect their billion-dollar investment in violence.

We can’t reform what was never meant to protect us. True safety comes from abolishing systems of violence and investing in what our communities actually need to thrive.

True safety comes from community care, not punishment and surveillance.

Join us Wednesday, July 2nd for a community workshop exploring what real safety looks like. Safety built on addressing root causes, meeting community needs, and supporting each other without relying on systems that harm us.

This workshop is for anyone ready to imagine and build a world where our safety doesn’t depend on criminalizing our neighbors.

Wednesday, July 2nd | 6-8 PM

Come with curiosity and leave with tools to help build the liberated communities we deserve.

One year ago, the Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed what we've always known: Phoenix PD systematically violates our constitutional rights.

Last month, Trump's DOJ abandoned the investigation, retracting all findings in an attempt to erase history. This move comes straight out of the playbook of fascist regimes throughout history.

Hace un año, el Departamento de Justicia confirmó lo que siempre hemos sabido: el Departamento de Policía de Phoenix viola sistemáticamente nuestros derechos constitucionales. Esta medida viene directamente del manual de estrategias de los regímenes fascistas a lo largo de la historia.

Luego, el Departamento de Justicia de Trump abandonó la investigación, retractándose de todos los hallazgos en un intento de borrar la historia.

Thank you to all the community members and partner organizations who showed up at city council last week to show their support of the Resolution for Thriving Communities! And thank you to Councilwoman Anna Hernandez for your unwavering support.

The fight for the Resolution isn’t over. We’re just getting started!

To the Mayor and council members who spent their time attempting to delegitimize and undermine the Resolution- we see you. We won’t forget your ongoing attempts to cover up the violence of this police department and your role in tearing apart our communities.

Gracias a todos los miembros de la comunidad y organizaciones que se unieron al ayuntamiento la semana pasada para mostrar su apoyo a la Resolución para Comunidades Prósperas. Y gracias a la concejal Anna Hernández por su increible apoyo.

La lucha por la Resolución no ha terminado. ¡Apenas estamos empezando!

Al alcalde y a los concejales que dedicaron su tiempo a intentar deslegitimar y socavar la Resolución: los vemos. No olvidaremos sus continuos intentos de encubrir la violencia de este departamento de policía y la destrucción que causan en nuestras comunidades.
