Biography
Giselle Garcia serves as Programs Director at NorCal Resist, a mutual aid organization dedicated to uplifting marginalized community members and creating a political organizing home for all. NorCal Resist is the immigration rapid response network for 25 counties in Northern California and is dedicated to strengthening our region’s united front of resistance against immigration enforcement action and government abuse inflicted upon our immigrant neighbors. The network is composed of hundreds of volunteers and various community partner organizations from Sacramento to the Oregon border who are trained in best practices to observe, document, and triage folks who are detained by ICE into support services, as well as provide pro se assistance for asylum petitions and other motions in an attempt to address the dearth in accessible immigration legal services.
