“I stand with CeCe” Poster Project

I oppose white supremacy, transphobia, violence against women, and the PIC

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.

What is shocking versus what is invisible: Chrishaun McDonald, racism and transphobia

In the early morning of June 5th, a young trans woman of color named Chrishaun McDonald and her friends walked by the Schooner Tavern at the busy intersection of 27th and Lake in Minneapolis. A white, older bar patron named Dean Schmitz stood at the door of the Schooner. According to McDonald's roommate, Schmitz started harassing McDonald, shouting, " Did you think you were going to rape somebody in those girl clothes?" and adding racial slurs.

A group (H.O.M.O.) Humans Opposed to Medical Oppression posted fliers around the twin cities in the last week advertising a Red Cross blood drive that included the statement "No Faggots" to draw attention to a homophobic policy that excludes men who have had sex with men from donating blood.
