The Federal Pause Is Surprise’s Opening. Mayor Sartor Should Be Using It.
Mayor Sartor, may we have a word? The federal environmental review of the proposed ICE facility puts detention on hold. That pause hands the City of Surprise something it did not have before: time, and no excuse to sit still. Thousands of Surprise residents have shown...
There Is a Chemical Hazard Next to the ICE Prison Camp. The City’s New Information Page Didn’t Mention It.
Update, August 5, 2026: Hours after we pointed out these omissions to the City, they added the June 30 federal order to its information page, one of the three things we asked for. The page gets corrected when someone shows the City what it left out. But the Mayor told...
Northwest Valley Indivisible proudly endorses Bernadette Greene-Placentia for Congress in Arizona’s 8th District.
This election is about whether our democracy still answers to the people. Right now it doesn't. We have a representative who shows up for his own ambitions, not for the district he was sent to serve. The people of this district deserve better than someone who treats...
Surprise Has Spent Two Months Moving a Chemical Hazard Around the Corner Instead of Stopping It
On July 30, a Surprise Police vehicle sat parked at the gate of the proposed ICE detention site, the officer chatting with a guard, while a chemical tanker blocked a fire hydrant a few yards away. That is what two months of city enforcement has produced on Sweetwater...
WHY WE SHOW UP
Arizona’s 8th Congressional District–including Peoria, Glendale, Surprise, Sun City, Anthem, and North Phoenix–is ground zero for MAGA extremism. Rep. Abe Hamadeh enables authoritarian attacks on our democracy, our freedoms, and our communities. MAGA-run school boards are eliminating fairness and freedom for our children. We won’t sit back and watch.
Almost 10,000 of us peacefully took to the streets for No Kings in 2026, with thousands standing along Bell Rd.
And we’re just getting started.
We organize. We protest. We fight for a future where Arizona stands for truth, justice, and equality.
