Free Cece

Crishaun “Cece” McDonald is a young, African American, transgender woman. On June 5th this year, Cece was the target of a racist and transphobic attack along with a group of friends. When one of her attackers was killed in the struggle, Cece alone was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.
We believe that racism and transphobia permeate all layers of government, and that there is no justice for Cece in the Hennepin County legal system. We believe that a court system that defends white supremacists forfeits legitimacy. We call upon the Hennepin County Attorney Michael Freeman to drop all charges against Cece, and we call upon all people of conscious to connect with her case and engage in efforts to defend her.

The “I Stand with Cece” poster project is an effort to capture the breadth of Cece’s support.
Take a moment to reflect on why you are drawn to Cece’s cause, and then complete the sentence on the poster below: “Because _________________, I stand with Cece.”
Sign your name underneath.
Provide contact and preference information in the bottom section to let us know how we can share your statement of support. (We won’t share your email with anyone.)
Leave the poster in the box provided when you have finished.
A companion poster is available as well. Please take one and display it proudly.
Our goal is to create a visual display that will illustrate the diversity of reasons to stand with Cece. Thank you for adding your voice to the mix.
