Chesa's father, David Gilbert, was also a high-level SDS and WUO operative now serving an extended prison sentence in [[New York]] state for his role in the 1981 Brinks. Gilbert was a member of the [[Maoist]] [[Ayers]]/[[Dohrn]] Action Faction which expelled [[Communist Party USA]] (CPUSA) members from SDS leadership. Without [[Moscow]] and CPUSA backing, WUO operatives turned to bank robbery and armored truck heists to fund revolutionary activity in the [[United States]]. Gilbert's fingerprints were found at a WUO bomb factory in San Francisco. Gilbert was highly active in SDS activities during the [[Columbia University]] strike in 1968 and became SDS Regional [[Community organizing|Community Organizer]]. Gilbert is also affiliated with the [[Prairie Fire Organizing Committee]]. At a debate at the University of Denver on November 11, 1969, Gilbert stated a violent [[Third World]] revolution was only way to achieve the goal of "world communism."<ref>Foreign Influence - Weather Underground Organization (WUO).
