Feinberg told Workers World ze would not plead guilty. “I’ve asked the National Lawyer’s Guild to help me fight this charge politically.” On Sept. 4, Minnie Bruce Pratt posted on social media the following message from Feinberg to activists:
“I travel to South Minneapolis gladly. I wrote the peoples’ verdict on the jail house wall — ‘FREE CECE NOW!’ on June 4 — the day CeCe McDonald was sentenced to prison, and on the last night she would spend in that county jail.
“My action in demonstration of solidarity — on the one-year anniversary of the attack on CeCe and her loved ones, and CeCe’s arrest, almost to the hour — was not furtive.
“The prosecution is aggressively defending the value, the ‘personhood’ of the jailhouse wall — property!
“My action demonstrates my solidarity with the lives of oppressed people struggling behind the walls of the jails, prisons and detention centers in mass, racist concentration camps known as the Prison-Industrial Complex.
“The charge of Gross Misdemeanor, like the felony charge, is meant to intimidate — to discourage actions of solidarity in struggle.
“I am not intimidated. As an anti-racist, I stand my ground — alongside warriors who are rolling forward towards liberation, and who are double-clicking forward to freedom while confined to bed.
“To those who ask how they can help me: Please help keep the focus of my court-ordered appearances on these struggles against oppressions and injustice!
“FREE CECE NOW!!”
