Over the last five years, I’ve worked hard towards better conditions for immigrants and workers, at my workplace, in my trade union Loimu, and by founding HELSINKI LEFT, and immigrant-led, grassroots chapter of Left Alliance (Vasemmistoliitto).
Now I’m standing as candidate number 210 in the Helsinki Municipal Election. If elected, my decision making will be evidence-based and empathetic. It will prioritise social inclusion, public services, and nature.
Many immigrants don’t realise that they might be eligible to vote. Although election day is 13th April, you can vote in advance from 2nd–8th April.”
