Mass Liberation AZ demands that Allister Adel #DropTheChargesMCAO and #EndPoliticalProsecutions against BLM protesters!
Protect our right to protest. HB2309 is only one of many bills from the 2020 legislative session that block police accountability and criminalize the very people who are out on the streets calling for an end to violence against Black and brown communities. Tell your AZ State Senator to vote NO on HB2309 here.
#DontSettleD7 | Together, we are sending a message that we won’t settle for the politics of the status quo and the resegregation of our community. The 2020 Phoenix District 7 candidates won’t stand up to the powerful police union lobby. That’s why we have to.
#FreeThemAll and #FlattenTheCurve!

4/9/21 | Watch as our Executive Director Lola N’sangou and our Electoral Justice Organizer Bruce Franks Jr. discuss our #DropTheChargesMCAO campaign! They’ll be talking about the arrests, accountability, who’s responsible and why protesters were targeted for demanding Black Liberation. Learn how you can get involved and what work is left to do.
3/15/21 | IG live with Mass Liberation AZ and actor Mark Ruffalo on #DropTheChargesMCAO and the campaign to #EndPoliticalProsecutions of Black Lives Matter protesters. We discuss how the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office has been colluding with Phoenix PD to criminalize free speech and silence critics of the nation’s deadliest police force. And they STILL haven’t dropped all the charges!
10/29/20 | POPI Community Dialogue Series #3: As Black and brown communities in South Phoenix face an increased risk of eviction and homelessness, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the narrative around housing violence in this city has been pushed further away from those most directly impacted. We map the major players in the cycle of housing violence, from landlords, to city council, to constables. We must recenter the inherent anti-blackness of eviction and housing violence, and implicate those who benefit from the displacement of Black, Brown, Indigenous, and poor people in the city of Phoenix.
10/28/20 | South Phoenix Healthy Start, InSite Consultants, & MLAZ present: Health Equity through the Lens of Social Justice
8/27/20 | POPI Community Dialogue Series #2: As the City of Phoenix makes a 1.35 billion dollar investment in the South Central Light Rail Extension project, low income residents of this historically segregated part of town are worrying about the very real threat of displacement that looms over South Phoenix’s Black & brown communities. We identify the ways public infrastructure projects, such as public transport, have historically been driven by development practices that center white comfort and white safety.
