Upcoming Events
Fortnightly Wednesdays at 6:00pm. Next ORCA: 16th of April
ORCA!
ORCA is a political action networking space! The space exists to focus and energise local activism
We want to regularly connect people entering and developing grassroots political spaces in so-called Sydney.
We are organising ourselves to resist the systems that don’t serve us. Through a variety of social and environmental movement spaces, we are in a collective struggle towards liberation.
Come along to share food, find out what’s happening in our area, work on campaign art and propaganda, and bring your ideas to fruition. It’s a space to get involved with your community, share your skills and learn new ones.
This is not a space for paid, or political party campaigning.
We acknowledge first peoples on this continent as traditional custodians of the land and recognise their sovereignty as never ceded.

Eco-socialist reading group
Although the climate protests might have subsided since their peak in 2019, fossil fuel emissions have not- in fact they’ve steadily been increasing and are projected to do so for the foreseeable future. With the world continuing to hurtle towards catastrophic amounts of global warming, the capitalist elite pocket enormous profits which mean they can keep putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere while sheltering themselves from the worst effects while the poor and the most vulnerable among them are left at the mercy of an increasingly ferocious and unpredictable climate alongside the other species and physical systems which also inhabit this planet.
This reading group is about understanding the mechanisms of capitalism which underlie this grave situation, and looking at society and struggle in its present form to understand what political interventions might be successful in urgently reducing emissions while building a revolution.
We are currently reading Andreas Malm’s book “Fossil Capital”, a Marxist analysis of the origins of the steam age, industrialisation, and global warming.
A free online copy of the book can be accessed on Library Genesis (https://libgen.is) Contact us for where in the book we're up to or just show up, everyone is welcome! We will be going to the pub afterwards. Hope we see you there!
