FLAGSTAFF — A protest march against continued use of Flock license plate-reading cameras and the ongoing ICE crackdown nationwide will be held on Jan. 31, 2026.

The march is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. at Humphrey Street and Cherry Avenue and continue to the Flagstaff City Hall. In a Facebook post on IndivisibleNAZ, "City Hall has not removed the Flock Cameras from the city after voting unanimously to do so. With ICE ramping up its actions in Arizona, and a man getting shot, these Camera’s will be a liability.

The short version is this: Successful anti-authoritarian movements use their economic power to stop the slide into fascism. That’s why Indivisible is enthusiastically joining We Ain’t Buying It: a corporate pressure campaign targeting Home Depot, Target, and Amazon this Black Friday weekend. The longer version is this: Show me what autocracy looks like! What we’re experiencing in America now is strikingly similar to what other democracies that have collapsed into authoritarianism have experienced.

Kings Day protest in June, northern Arizona residents and visitors loudly shared their emotions about the state of the nation’s Democracy during the “No Kings Day of Action” rally on Oct. 18 in front of Flagstaff City Hall. Organized locally by Indivisible Northern Arizona and supported by a variety of local groups, opponents of the Trump administration crowded the sidewalks from Wheeler Park and Humphreys Street along Route 66 around the curve to Milton Road, filling the grassy area up to the Flagstaff City Hall sign. Unlike previous rallies, a sizable crowd of protesters also held up their signs on the opposite side of Humphreys and on Route 66. While detractors said the anti-Trump rallies were made up of aging hippies, radical leftest and those who hate America, it appeared protesters came from all walks of life, from the very young to parents and seniors, many waving American flags.

FLAGSTAFF — Despite the long holiday weekend, a crowd estimated at more than 400 turned out for the “Labor Day Protest-Workers Over Billionaires!” in front of the Flagstaff City Hall. Organized locally by Indivisible Northern AZ, the event was part of a nationwide protest against “the billionaire agenda is dismantling our government: overseeing mass firings, gutting worker protections and social services, and transferring wealth to the 1% while funding a private army of ICE agents,” the organization stated in a media release. A sizable number of protesters carried signs calling for better wages for works, tax the 1 percent and support union workers during the afternoon rally.
