 \nKarina Garcia's Bio:\n \nKarina García is the political chair of the 
 Chicano Caucus at Columbia University. At Columbia University, Garcia has 
 organized student walkouts and teach-ins advocating for full rights for all 
 immigrants. On Oct. 4, she helped lead a large protest against Jim 
 Gilchrist, co-founder of the anti-immigrant Minuteman Project. She and 
 other students went onstage with anti-racist banners while Gilchrist was 
 speaking and were attacked by Minutemen thugs. Faced with overwhelming 
 opposition Gilchrist terminated his speech.\n \nDays later, Karina García 
 and Gilchrist squared off on a nationally broadcast debate on Democracy 
 Now!. Gilchrist took off his microphone and stormed out of the studio in 
 the first minutes of the debate. Although they were physically attacked by 
 Minutemen on October 4, it is the anti-racist protesters who have been 
 targeted by the media, university officials, and NYC mayor Bloomberg. 
 Karina García is telling the story of the anti-Minutemen protesters and 
 the struggle against fascism and racism. She has been speaking to students 
 and communities and in the mass media. All over the country, people are 
 learning about this struggle and showing their support for the students at 
 Columbia University.\n
