Meet O.R.C.A!

from ORCA

Welcome to our new website! We’ll post upcoming events and other O.R.C.A.-related news here. For now, check out our upcoming events, share this page with interested friends, and review our access info. A reminder that our location is not public, email for directions or other questions.

In the near future, we plan to have open hours where we encourage people to drop by, hang, have tea, read from our library, etc.

Programming at O.R.C.A. will always be free (the only exceptions to this are fundraising events).  Unfortunately we find ourselves having to pay rent :/ Given this predicament, we ask y’all to keep an eye out for fundraising efforts/rent parties to help us cover costs. If you are sitting on extra money and would like to throw some our way send us an email.

We’ll also announce events and news via our mailing list—email us if you’d like to be added.

Our email address is orca.philly@protonmail.com

Upcoming events:
3/15 6pm La Haine Film Screening
3/16 2pm Les Miserables Screening
4/21 4pm If A Tree Falls Screening

O.R.C.A is a new nautical-themed social space in Philadelphia for anarchists and our radical friends. Organizing a reading group? looking for a space for an anarchist meeting? Screening a film or hosting a discussion/workshop? Hit us up if you want to do it at O.R.C.A! Expect open hours soon. We’ll be having our grand opening Sunday, February 11th! Come grab a zine, catch a film, and warm the space. Bring zines and posters to populate the space if you feel so moved.
We expect attendees to wear masks at this event, and will have masks available should you forget your own. We’ll have some seltzer and snacks, but always welcome more.
Access Info:
Unfortunately, O.R.C.A is not a very physically accessible space. Located in Southwest Philly off a trolley line, the space is up two flights of stairs in a building without an elevator. There are two gender-neutral bathrooms on the same floor as O.R.C.A.. The space is cold in the winter and warm in the summer. O.R.C.A has masks and covid tests available for free, always. Expect couches, chairs, benches, and soft surfaces in the space. If you have any access questions please feel fee to reach out.
