freccaseynownoblogsor,

Casey Goonan is a dedicated community educator, writer, distroist,
and printer who has committed their life to struggles for liberation.

A federal investigation by the FBI and several other law enforcement
agencies resulted in Casey’s arrest in June 2024 for actions including
burning a UCPD vehicle in response to UC Berkeley's treatment of
student protestors for Palestine. On September 23, 2025, Casey was
sentenced 1o nearly 20 years in prison followed by 15 years of lose
supervision and was ordered to pay over $94,000 in restifution.

Justas Casey has persistently for years cared for, supported, and
struggled alongside incarcerated comrades, we aim to replicate these
actions in solidarity with Casey as they continue their struggle from
the other side of the wall.

Anote from Casey in September 2025

“Thanks to everybody out there who has shown me love and
offered support through this time. 1 wish every prisoner could
experience the level of support you all have shown to me. In
Jere, I'e done my best 1o show my love 1o all my fellow
prisoners and I remain steadfast to the movement to
Palestinian liberation and the movements for decolonization
and abolition worldwide.”

Statement of Solidarity with Casey Goonan
Iy Stevie Wilson (uly 2024)

Many years ago, while imprisoned at SCI-Smithfield, and struggling to
keep our study groups afloat, I reccived an e-mesage from Cascy
Goonan. I had no clue whom he was. He said he reached out because
he heard about the work I was doing inside and wanted o offer any
assistance he could. He did, and he continued to do so. Casey has
been one of the most consistent and ready allies/accomplices of
imprisoned people. Whether producing zines that center imprisoned

voices, mailing zines to imprisoned people at no cost, coordinating
phone zaps to combat repression by prison officials, rising funds for
mutual aid, building social media presence for imprisoned fols or just
lending an attentive car to the concerns of imprisoned people, Casey

has been unstinting in his support of anyone, anywhere, who is being
oppressed

My friend, my comrade, my brother, is currently being held in a
county jail in CA. Twish I were out there to do more for him, to
manifest by love and solidarity for him. What I want everyone to
know is that Casey Goonan is an amazing ally/accomplice of
oppressed people everyone. In this, his time of necd, he should be
supported and cared for. T ask people to keep close tabs on the
situation, show up for Casey and make sure that while he is inside, jail
officials do not harm him or exacerbate his condition. T don’t ever
claim to speak for all imprisoned people, but T feel confident in
saying that thousands of imprisoned people across this land have
bencfited from Casey’s efforts. We ask you support our comrade and

care for him.

Alvays,
Stevie
Message of Support to Free Casey Goonan: Free Them Alll
{y Hybachi LeMar (July 2024)
Revolutionary Greetings.
My name is Hybachi LeMar and 'm a member of the Black
Autonomy Federation Chicago Local Organizing Committee. 'm

sending this message to support the release of scholar activist
dedicated community organizer and friend Casey Goonan.

When Twas houseless, he let me eat and sleep in his home. Fach
‘morning we asked each other, “What's your positive affiemation for
the day?” We ke a meaningful moment before sharing a positive
truth, both of us knowing if's significance in our lives when we
intemalize it as an instrument of our liberation. More often than not,
for the years I've known Casey, he’s neglecting his own needs to
prioritize those of others, has led me to ask him instincrively, if he’
faken his meds yer. And Ive lost count how many times he thanked
me for reminding him before asking if I remembered to take mine
to0.

With barely anything in his pocket, T watched him fill a perfect
stranger’s diabetic medication prescription. He's loved, and T don’t
mean by me, but by street walkers and other commoners throughout
Chicago.

He's organized fundraisers in one particular area of the city on several
occasions. We'd pass out $20 bills he prefilled in envelopes, for every
single houscless person on the street, or asking for change. From one
comer to the nest, up one genfrified block and up another, not letting
him know the contents, or lingering around for thanks; often with the
clenched fist of unity and a solidarity smile.

It was heartwarming to hand out gloves, masks, hygiene supplies like
cases of hand sanitizer, chips, and other community necds for frec,
under the l train one blistering winter amidst the pandemic from a
makeshift warming center he'd open cach weekend. A smile on
people’s faces glow from appreciation, from those of us who know
him, to the neweomers asking *And this is for frec?” when glancing at
the fold-out fables, not far from the rurnstile.

“Mm-hmm Yep! Help yourself,” Casey responds, wishing them a
good day and to take care, which is substantial to folks rendered
socio-cconomically invisible in the city.

Free, the root word in freedom, has been top priority as an agenda
ifem for Casey from dusk til dawn every day of every year that e
known him.

He likes to remind everyone how special we are in this world, by
showing how casy and necessary it is to care for each other, and to

help aworld that could certainly use it, offering a space and a table of
togetherness, and free education

As a publisher, he provides an invaluable resource for writers. With
freedom inspired by billions of us, it speaks not only to our

conscious, but to our collective benefit o
fireer in this world with him inside it. We, particularly poor folk

now we're substanially
throughout the city, appreciate him.

“Things to keep in mind: Leave a 1-inch margin around the page of
your letter, otherwise your text may be cut off during the scanning
process. Stay mindful—even after sentencing, surveillance is the same
as if's been. Reckless conversations could cause Casey more harm.
Do not discuss the contents of the case. Receiving mail discussing
their case can continue to seriously endanger them. Don't valorize
Casey. They are a person and a member of our community, not a
symbol or martyr. Casey isn’t looking for praise, but rather to
maintain correspondence.Don’t write anything you wouldn't want
Fox News, a cop, or a judge fo see. Assume that intelligence and law
enforcement agencies are reading your letter.

As you correspond with Cascy, they may send requests aside from
books or commissary. Please coordinate directly with Casey’s Support
Comittee regarding additional asks by emailing
cscommitiee@proton.me

Casey has worked tirclessly for years to support their incarcerated
comrades, and we owe them the samel Now that Casey has been
sentenced, we will confinue to maintain fundraising efforts fo assist
with a broader set of financial burdens beyond legal expenses. Casey
is facing significant costs for restitution, fines, commissary,
communication (phone etc.), diabetic and dietary care, books, travel
costs for loved ones, and other needs.

Every penny counts and we're so grateful for all the support so far.
We're asking you to donate what you can and also o reach out to
your friends, family, comrades, and organizations to ask them to
contribute as well. Please consider a monthly donation as Casey has a
long road ahead of them.

reach out to the email escommittec@proton.me

Fundraising

Many comrades have thrown fundraisers already and you can too! If
you would like support in making one happen, please reach out fo us
at escommittee@proton.me.

Casey's Commissary

Casey's support team has been making sure that they have funds on
their commissary account so that they can purchase the food they
need to manage their diabetes. Until Cascy reaches their long-term
federal placement, the best way to contribute fo their commissary is fo
venmo @juliepetersonG.

Casey has published some of their writings since their sentencing as
zines to print and share, including:

“Federal Task Force to Combat Anti
Anarchist Black Cross

nism,” Bloomington

“Timeline of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment Wave & Campus
Flood at U. C. Berkeley from My Perspective (Aprl to June
2024),” with whatever weapons distro

“Palestine’s Liberation Will Liberate Us AIP: A Message 1o a
Prisoner Letter Writing Event,” with whatever weapons distro
The state uses the imprisonment of political lcaders and
rank-and-file activists as a bludgeon against movement
victories. Their incarceration is a reminder of the strength,
potential, and. just as crucially, the weaknesses and
vulnerabilities of radical mass movements. As a result,
political prisoners serve collective prison time for all those
who participated in the movements from which they
emerged.
