*"Black Trans Lives Matter: CeCe McDonald on Racism, Mass Incarceration, 
and Trans Liberation"
Tuesday, March 10, 7 p.m.
Earthfoods, UMass Student Union *

CeCe McDonald, an aspiring fashion student living in Minneapolis, was 
attacked by a racist, transphobic mob while walking to the grocery store 
in July of 2010. One of her attackers, intoxicated and adorned with a 
swastika tattoo, died days following the incident. CeCe was charged with 
two murders and was threatened with up to 80 years in prison for daring 
to defend herself. Since her release in January of 2014, CeCe has become 
a leading and outspoken activist, inspiring many to take action against 
mass incarceration and for racial justice and trans liberation."
