From a crepe shop that is doubling up as a community activist hub, to how frontline medics are tending to the needs of elderly protesters, here are some stories from our Reporting as Resistance Spring 2026 Cohort.
Following a controversial 2025 cancellation, Arizona State University’s drag education event came back to the downtown Phoenix campus this spring, reclaiming a space for performance, learning and LGBTQ+ community.
Tired of watered-down news that sidelines and misrepresents queer voices? Same, and that's why LOOKOUT started in 2022 as the state's only LGBTQ+ news outlets dedicated to accountability and service journalism.
At LOOKOUT, we don’t just report on the LGBTQ+ community—we are the community. We dig deep, ask the uncomfortable questions, and hold power to account. Whether it’s investigating anti-trans policies in public schools, following the money behind far-right agendas, and even holding those within our own community accountable for abuses of power, we cover the stories most outlets won’t (or can't) touch.
We believe queer communities deserve journalism that’s fearless, free, and refuses to play nice with the status quo.
