Voku to support anarchist prisoner Casey Goonan

- July 21st, 2025

Monday July 21, 2025, Voku to support anarchist prisoner Casey Goonan. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Our benefit will support Casey Goonan, an American anarchist facing 5-20 years in federal prison for the alleged firebombing of a UC Berkeley police vehicle. A campaign has been set up to support Casey, spread the word about their case and raise money for legal costs. An anonymous communique posted to Indybay took credit for the action in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance and university occupations throughout California. Casey was arrested in June 2024, more than two weeks after the alleged arson. They are being held in federal custody in Santa Rita jail in California and are facing the highest federal charges in relation to the pro-Palestine movement in the U.S. so far.
Casey has a long history of organizing mutual aid in Chicago and supporting prisoners throughout the so called United States. They continue to study and organize behind bars and have engaged in a hunger strike to demand better conditions for their cellmates. Casey has recently been the subject of a month-long LOP – Loss of Privileges – but as of the most recent update will have gained access back to phones, visitation and commissary on the 15th of July. Casey’s sentencing hearing has been moved multiple times and is currently scheduled for September.
