O.R.C.A. Closing Statement
from O.R.C.A.
TDLR: ORCA is closing; goodbye party 6/12 7pm-12am
O.R.C.A. is closing. This wasnât an easy decision, but given a combination of factorsâpersonal capacity, building frustration, and lack of logistical+financial supportârunning the space is no longer sustainable for us and we donât want to continue this project. We are glad to have helped create an anarchist space for people to meet and learn from each other and encounter anti-authoritarian ideas. Many anarchist spaces often skew white and punk; it was important to us that O.R.C.A. did not fall into this pattern. Over the last 2.5 years, weâve prioritized hosting de-colonial, black liberation, and internationally-oriented events. Shout out to anyone who has booked or facilitated an event! We couldnât have done it without you.
O.R.C.A. opened during an upsurge in the Palestinian liberation movement, and was initially intended to meet a need for a public non-commercial space where people could find each other and engage with anarchism. We knew of an empty room in a building we were familiar with, and we decided to squat it for as long as we could. Our short time squatting revealed to us that the space was fulfilling a need and when squatting became untenable we decided to rent a room. While O.R.C.A. will not continue, the need for non-commercial, explicitly anti-authoritarian political spaces remains, and we encourage anyone with the desire and capacity to open other spaces.
Itâs worth addressing some of the challenges that went along with this project and influenced our decision to close. From the beginning, a 2-3 person collective was not large enough to sustain a space like this. It was difficult to find dedicated people who had the capacity and availability to seriously contribute to O.R.C.A., an unsurprising reality in the face of the increasing misery of today. Relatedly, our own capacities, desires, and commitments have changed since 2023. We encourage anyone starting this kind of project to remember that people and circumstances change, and to prepare accordingly.
If we want spaces like O.R.C.A. to exist, we need community buy-in. That can look like attending or throwing events, donating supplies, helping with workdays, but it also needs to include financial support. We often ended up paying rent with the fruits of our own đ marginalized laborđ´ââ ď¸. Despite never charging to use the space or attend events, behind the scenes, weâve always been concerned about having the money to keep the lights on.
It certainly didnât help that the building was becoming more and more inaccessible. We knew when we opened O.R.C.A. that the building was not nearly as accessible as we would have liked, and the new locks, cameras, and the threat of fees from building management have only added to our discouragement.
To the volunteersâopen hours crew, friends whoâve jumped in when weâve needed it, anyone who has thrown us some moneyâthank you so much!
We made things work! Despite the limitations of the spaceânot very physically accessible, cold in the winter and hot in the summer, and three busy people running thingsâalmost all of our programs were very well attended. On many occasions we filled every couch, folding chair, bench, and extra floor space with friends, comrades, and strangers alike. We want to celebrate the last 2.5 years of aquatic anarchy! Help us send this ship off (and take home all of our treasures*) June 12th.
Love and anarchy,
O.R.C.A.

from In Contempt
[This post only contains information relevant to Philadelphia and the surrounding area, to read the entire article follow the above link.]
Our practice of solidarity is not just one of obligation, but of recognition that an ever-expanding and never-ending solidarity is part of the path to all of our freedom. Because we know ourselves to be more connected, stronger, and ultimately more capable when it is always a part of what guides us. We know there is no fixed limit or end, and the need for solidarity will always be there. We know that we find richness in the ways that it deepens our movements and selves.
ââ June 11 2026: Solidarity Without End
Repression breeds resistance, but only if we tryâŚ. The struggle continues. This month marks 6 years since the state murder of George Floyd and the nationwide uprising that still looms on the horizon of whatâs possible. June 11 returns and solidarity is endless. Marius is free! And new long-term anarchist prisoners remain. We return with another round-up of updates and calls to action about political prisoners, repression of revolutionaries, and rebellions behind bars. Fire to the prisons!
As always, we welcome submissions and international contributionsââhit up in_contempt @ autistici . org.
A zine and pamphlet of this column will be available in the coming days to print and share with friends, comrades, and loved ones behind bars.

PRISONER UPDATES
Casey Goonan, a dedicated community educator, writer, distroist, and printer who has lived a life committed to struggles for liberation was arrested in June of 2024 for actions, including the arson of a UC Berkeley Police vehicle, in response to the Universityâs treatment of student protesters for Palestine. In September of 2025, Casey was sentenced to 19 years in prison. Casey had been in holdover at FCI Mendota, awaiting their permanent placement. Life at FCI Mendota was uncertain and challenging, as they were denied access to sufficient medical care to manage their diabetes, and had lived without personal property, stimulating programs or much time outside their cell. In February 2026, Casey was finally transferred to FCI Allenwood in Northern Pennsylvania. This placement might be temporary, but for the time being they have better medical care, phone access, time out of their cell and time in the library. They are working on a habeas petition with another legal team in order to appeal their conviction and sentencing.

An update from Casey GoonanâââLockdowns and a Birthdayâ:
After dealing with a tough month or two of extended of unit-wide lockdowns, establishing a reliable program has been difficult, but Casey reports doing very well! Lockdowns still happen sporadically with little explanation so developing a daily rhythm has been a challenge. They have made a lot of friends on the unit though and for Caseyâs birthday, all the guys in their car and few others quietly passed around a birthday card to sign. And to cap it off, somebody made a banginâ spread of nachos for the occasion.
Mail and calls
Snail mail has been extremely slow and sporadic through the mailroom. They only are getting mail at least a month later than itâs postmark, which is extra frustrating becauseâŚ
Casey recently received a 6 month revocation of their calling privileges and lost 27 days of good time credits as punishment for a 3-way call with their mom and brother that they didnât even know was against the rules. So for the time being, email via Corrlinks or snail mail is the only way to talk to them.
To revisit some mail basics:
â Leave big margins on your letters. Casey only receives a black and white hardcopy scan of letters and as of yet the feds havenât mastered using a scanner or just donât care. Anything near the edges of the page gets cut off.
â Mail is surveilled and often pieces are outright blocked. Casey has heightened restrictions and scrutiny due to their classification and charges. Write accordingly. Know as well that some mail just doesnât make it through.Books

Birthday fundraiser
For Caseyâs birthday we were able to raise $840 so far for Lil Nicky, their cellie and friend. Letâs double that!
To support Lil Nicky, funds can be sent by Venmo labeled as âLittle Nickyâ to @juliepetersonG
Lil Nicky has been a great friend, and lifesaver in the yard on numerous occasions. Slated to go home in 15 months to Philly, he will be reuniting with his 13 year old son. Also, Lil Nicky is deaf and needs immediate support to buy his own hearing aids and batteries (Yeah, the prison doesnât supply those!).
With next to no income from a prison job, it is extremely hard to purchase supplies for your disabilities not to mention save for going home. Without support, re-entry is an extension of the isolation of incarceration, leaving just-released people in an extremely vulnerable position and often in harms way.
Lil Nicky has been there for Casey and Casey is looking to repay the favor.
Together they spend hours on lockdowns discussing sports and the state of the world. Lil Nicky is continually motivating Casey to stay focused on their goals as an abolitionist and their prisoner support work, now from the inside.
Again, to kick down, Venmo @juliepetersonG with the note âLil Nicky.â
