Karina Gonzalez is one of three student leaders for Fossil Free Northern Arizona University, a student run campaign pushing the university to divest from the top 200 coal, oil, and natural gas corporations by 2017. Gonzalez coordinates all key negotiations with the university president, leads on-campus recruitment efforts, and provides canvassing training. She also manages campaign media relations, and has leveraged campaign successes for national media coverage, including a segment on Democracy Now! The FFNAU campaign is currently the only divestment campaign in Arizona, and is unique for its commitment to building meaningful partnerships with non-campus communities. Gonzalez has helped foster this commitment through her work with the Black Mesa Water Coalition, an Indigenous environmental organization in Flagstaff. FFNAU is currently working with the coalition to push her university to invest in sustainability projects on the Navajo Nation. In addition to her role on campus, Karina coordinates a United Nations youth delegate leadership program.

Brought to us by Fox News Chief Political Anchor Bret Baier, To Rescue the Republic is an epic history of Ulysses S. Grant—spanning from the battlefields of the Civil War to the violent turmoil of Reconstruction to the forgotten electoral crisis that nearly fractured a reunited nation. Desperate for bold leadership in the midst of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln turned to Ulysses S. Grant, appointing him lieutenant general of the Union Army, precipitating their victory within a year. Four years later, as president of the United States, Grant rose to the challenge of Reconstruction by advancing its agenda and aggressively countering the Klu Klux Klan. When the contested presidential election of 1876 produced no clear victory, it was Grant who forged the painful compromise that saved the fragile nation, but tragically pushed the Civil Rights movement even further down the road. In this book, Baier dramatically reveals Grant’s palpable and essential influence on the United States as it suffered through a severe period of internal division. Join us as Bret Baier brings contemporary resonance and fresh detail to the life of one of America’s most legendary leaders.
