 imprisoned for defending herself against a racist, transphobic assault in 
 July, 2010. Due to her willingness to fight, supporters and activists in 
 Minneapolis and 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 2014.\n\nAfter being released 
 CeCe quickly became 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, she 
 received the Bayard Rustin Civil Rights award, and has spoken on Democracy 
 Now!, MSNBC, and various other media outlets.\n\n\nRuthie Wilson Gilmore is 
 Director of the Center for Place, Culture, and Politics, and Professor of 
 Geography, at the City University of New York Graduate Center. Author of 
 Golden Gulag: Prisons, Surplus, Crisis, and Opposition in Globalizing 
 California, she was founding-collective member of California Prison 
 Moratorium Project, Critical Resistance, Californians United for a 
 Responsible Budget, and many other social justice organizations.\n
