Tuesday, June 11, 6-9pm
Beeler Gallery, Columbus College of Art & Design, 60 Cleveland Ave.
This is the THIRD Community Pride event!

We will host a free screening of the documentary "Free CeCe!", followed by a panel discussion that will highlight transmisogynoir and it's daily violence against Black trans women, as well as the systemic dehumanization and criminalization of Black trans people.

When Black trans women are under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back!

Documentary description from trailer: "On her way to the store with a group of friends, Chrishaun Reed 'CeCe' McDonald was attacked. In fighting for her own life, a man was killed. After a coercive interrogation, CeCe was incarcerated in a men’s prison in Minnesota. An international campaign to free CeCe garnered significant support from media and activists, including actress and executive producer Laverne Cox. Laverne uses her platform to explore the roles race, class, and gender played in CeCe’s case. CeCe emerges not only as a survivor, but as a leader. Documentarian Jac Gares pushes past everyday narratives of victimhood that surround the lives of trans people, to foreground the way CeCe and other trans people are leading a growing movement to critically interrogate and disassemble the prison industrial complex."
