- On Sunday, the Phoenix Police Department broke up an event for the homeless after claiming the organizers were trespassing. Hearts For The Homeless founder Gerrie Hanke stated that the organization has thrown events like this in the past on the property, so she is not sure why the event was shut down. According to the police, the organizers had not obtained permission from the property owner. However, they did suggest other locations where the event could take place legally. (FOX 10 News Phoenix)
- In the nearby city Tempe, traditional fireworks were not used to celebrate the Fourth of July this year. Instead, a unique fire show was presented in an attempt to make people's voices heard in a post-Roe v Wade Arizona. According to reports, thousands of people were in attendance. Many of the people who were there have the same hopes of hoping that "one day politicians will listen so that living in America includes being free." (ABC15 Arizona in Phoenix)
- A man who attended a birthday party in Phoenix was found shot in the backyard the next day. He later died at the hospital this past Sunday. According to the article, after the police arrived, the officers secured the scene.
