"I STAND WITH CECE" POSTER PROJECT The “I Stand with Cece” poster project is an effort to capture the breadth of Cece’s support. 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. Our goal is to create a visual display that will illustrate the diversity of reasons to stand with Cece. We ask you to participate by going to: http://supportcece.wordpress.com/get-involved/i-stand-with-cece-poster-project/ 5. Dec 15: BATTLING WHITE SUPREMACY IN MINNEAPOLIS On Thursday, December 15, please join us for a dinner, talk, and the unveiling of the "I stand with CeCe" Poster Project.
