Casey’s sentencing hearing has been rescheduled again. It is now tentatively slated for September 23 and that means Casey will be spending two more months at Santa Rita Jail. We will update with more info as the new date approaches.
Restoration of phone access and visitation As mentioned in the last update, Casey was hit with a retaliatory disciplinary write-up and hit with a month long LOP status (Loss of Privileges). That was extended an additional week via an additional write-up but on 7/15 Casey will again have access to phones, visitation, and commissary.

We received the below email from Kojo this morning, July 12, 2025:
“I am sick as I write you. I cannot explain what the problem is. That is why I seek your assistance to ascertain what is happening. System of problem unknown, however my head is spinning several times daily. I complained and an x-ray of my brain was taken. I had injections of something provided by medical. Now I am going through the situation once again. I feel faint and dizzy currently. I am reaching out. This is something I need the comrades to do. Build To Win! Kojo”
We are asking people to email, fax and call Butner FMC to inquire as to why they are not giving this serious medical situation the attention required to ascertain what exactly is causing this alarming problem. You can request to speak with his counselor. If that is not possible, please state your concern regarding this recurring medical problem. Be polite but firm in demanding that proper medical attention be provided to Kojo.
Kojo is 72 years old and has been in prison since 1975. He was originally transferred to Butner for a hip replacement, which was successful. Now we need to support our elder and ensure he gets the medical attention he needs.
You must refer to Kojo as Grailing Brown #39384-066.
This urgent and deeply grounded collection gathers the voices of organizers, writers, and thinkers from within the Stop Cop City movement. Curated by Micah Herskind, Mariah Parker, and Kamau Franklin, the book maps the strategies, political commitments, and on-the-ground tactics that have shaped this decentralized, fiercely intersectional resistance. It offers both a record of struggle and a call to action. This movement is about more than stopping a single police facility. It is part of a larger fight against the spread of Cop World, a violent system where police militarization, surveillance, and ecological destruction go hand in hand. The gestapo-style tactics of ICE are escalating rapidly, alongside a massive increase in funding, threatening the safety of immigrant communities and protest movements alike. These forces are converging, and they endanger all of us.
No Cop City, No Cop World offers a wide-ranging view of this movement’s development, its guiding values, and the diverse methods used to resist state violence. The book includes tributes to Tortuguita, in-depth reflections from those impacted by repression, and connections between local and global movements for environmental justice, Indigenous sovereignty, and police abolition.
My essay, “31 Days in DeKalb County Hell,” is included in this collection. I began writing it while I was incarcerated in DeKalb County Jail, and completed it in the chaotic and intense weeks following my release in 2023. It is a raw account of survival inside a system designed to break people, and a testament to the solidarity that helped me endure.
By purchasing a copy directly through my site, you are contributing to my legal defense as I face RICO charges brought against me for standing with this movement. Your support helps me fight back, stay free, and keep organizing.
On the night of July 4th, local police arrested 10 people outside the ICE Prairieland detention facility in Alvarado, Texas. We don’t know all of the circumstances leading to the arrests. We do know that popular outrage and resistance to deportations is growing across the country. Organizers, activists, and affected communities have spent the year organizing rallies and protests outside of detention centers just like the one in Alvarado. The 10 people arrested on July 4th currently face state-level Terrorism and Aggravated Assault charges. Local authorities set bail at $10 million per person.
On July 6th, FBI agents raided the home of an individual doing jail support. Another individual was pulled over by federal officers who placed them in custody. As of July 7th, their loved ones remain unaware of their current status or location.
Justice Department Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche claims the government will hold a “zero tolerance” policy toward those accused of participating in the protest in Alvarado. Already, the far right and the federal government are working to spread inflammatory and misleading narratives about the arrests. It is important for us all to remember that the police spread lies and half-truths which are greedily and thoughtlessly parroted by the media. We should not participate in spreading misinformation.
Everyone accused of fighting against round ups, mass deportations, and detention facilities deserve our support and solidarity, financial, material, and otherwise.
While we all wait for more direction to emerge from locals and those closer to the situation, we must all prepare to engage in a robust solidarity effort as the situation develops.
Currently, there is a serious and urgent need to raise funds for legal fees and other expenses. Please donate at the link below. You can also help by holding fundraisers, and sharing the fundraiser with family, friends, co-workers and on social media.
We’ve finished the latest version of the NYC ABC “Illustrated Guide to Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War” and it’s available for viewing (and download) by clicking on the tab at the top of this page. This update includes updated mini-bios, photos, and address changes for several prisoners. Unfortunately, this edition includes the addition of Hridindu Roychowdhury.
Hridindu Roychowdhury is an anarchist from Madison, Wisconsin who was sentenced to 90 months in federal prison for attacking a building with a Molotov cocktail in the wake of the leak of the draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overruling Roe v. Wade.
He targeted the building because it was occupied by an anti-choice organization (Wisconsin Family Action). Roychowdhury acknowledged spray-painting the message “If abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either” on the outside of the building. No one was in the office at the time. Roychowdhury pleaded guilty on Dec. 1, 2023. He was was ordered to pay nearly $32,000 in restitution and was serving his sentence at FCI Marion. He received a 7.5 year sentence.
In May 2025, he was shipped to Wisconsin to go before a grand jury. Hridindu is currently being held in federal civil contempt of court for refusing to cooperate/snitch at a federal grand jury proceeding. After the judge recently found him in contempt for refusing to answer questions within the grand jury room, he sits in this county jail without earning any good time—in essence his federal time is frozen until contempt is purged.
He is currently housed in a county jail in Wisconsin after being transferred there from the federal prison he was assigned after he took a non-cooperation plea deal and was sentenced.

After the judge recently found him in contempt for refusing to answer questions within the grand jury room, he sits in this county jail without earning any good time—in essence his federal time is frozen until contempt is purged.
