Скачать или смотреть Abraham Aiyash | Remarks for the WCYS Annual Conference '22 - Yemen Under the Scope

State Representative Abraham Aiyash is serving his first term in the Michigan House of Representatives. The son of Yemeni immigrants Abraham Aiyash grew up in a working class family where his father, a UAW member and his mother, a homemaker, raised their children in Hamtramck. He now represents the 4th District, encompassing his hometown of Hamtramck, and surrounding parts of Detroit, advocating for progressive solutions and justice for his community. His political activism began as a community organizer for President Obama’s historic campaign in 2008. As a young man, he found strength in mobilizing his community by amplifying a united voice against systemic problems. Aiyash received his Bachelor’s Degree from Michigan State University in Political Theory and Constitutional Democracy. During his time, he co-founded a nonprofit that mentored refugee children in the Lansing area. Aiyash was first exposed to legislative work when he served under State Representative Rose Mary Robinson.
