Baltimore 2 Defense Committee campaign marketing materials
Scope and Contents
Three mailer items produced by the Baltimore 2 Defense Committee which was organized in 1976 in defense of Ray Ceci and Mike Pione, Baltimore activists who were assaulted by Thomas Fannin while putting up flyers for a public meeting on wealth inequality. Ceci and Pione were subsequently arrested and charged with assault, littering, and illegal posting; Fannin was not charged for his assault on Ceci and Pione. In these campaign materials, the organization asks for financial assistance for Ceci and Pione's defense, assistance in raising awareness about this case and police brutality and harassment in Baltimore, and invites recipients to participate in the campaign.
