  • 22 DECEMBER 2011 - PHOENIX, AZ:   A woman who identified herself as a survivor of rape and sexual assault reads a poem she wrote during a protest against sexual violence in Phoenix. About 300 people marched through downtown Phoenix Thursday night in a silent candle lit procession to protest against the way the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department, led by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, has conducted sexual assault and rape investigations. Two recent media reports, one by the East Valley Tribune, a newspaper in Mesa, AZ, and one by the Associated Press, concluded that the Sheriff's department has bungled more than 430 rape investigations. Last week, a US Department of Justice report cited the unresolved rape investigations along with evidence of wide spread racial profiling by the sheriff's department in a report that was highly critical of Sheriff Arpaio and the Sheriff's Department.

  • 22 OCTOBER 2011 - PHOENIX, AZ:    An Occupy Phoenix protester crosses a street in downtown on his way to the Occupy Phoenix protest Saturday. The demonstrations at Occupy Phoenix, AZ, entered their second week Saturday. About 50 people are staying in Cesar Chavez Plaza, in the heart of downtown. The crowd grows in the evening and on weekends. Protesters have coordinated their actions with police and have gotten permission from the city to set up shade shelters and sleep in the park, but without tents or sleeping bags, which is considered "urban camping," instead protesters are sleeping on the sidewalk.
