The Struggle for Trans Liberation: A conversation with CeCe McDonald

CeCe McDonald was a political prisoner incarcerated for defending herself against a racist, transphobic assault in 2010. Due to her willingness to fight, activists across the U.S. built up a solidarity campaign to demand her freedom, and were able to win her a reduced sentence. After serving a 17-month term, she was released in January.
After being released CeCe quickly become a leading and outspoken fighter in the movements for LGBTQ liberation, prison abolition, and racial justice. She is currently working on a forthcoming documentary with actress Laverne Cox on her case, “Free CeCe”. She was the Grand Marshall of Seattle Pride this year, and has spoken on Democracy Now!, MSNBC, and other media outlets.
