Скачать или смотреть Farheen Hakeem Minnesota Green Party Candidate State Rep.

Farheen Hakeem educator, leader, and community organizer, moved to Minneapolis in 1999. After September 11, 2001, Farheen joined the antiwar movement, spurred by the poor decisions that our government was making. At the same time working as a teacher, she saw how resources from the local level were being drained while corporate interests were being expanded. These two experiences challenged her to examine the ways in which government fails the very communities it was created to serve.


There is a need for State Government to be more user friendly for people, and there need for a strong, hard working, passionate advocate for the residents of 61B. I am the leader that will build a bridge for the people of 61B to the State Capitol. As a proven advocate and organizer in disenfranchised communities, I have the skills and the knowledge to make the State Capitol less intimidating and complicated and more approachable to the people. As your State Representative, I promise to be accessible to you and will continually seek community input before making decisions that affect our lives in our district. I will show up to events and be present in the community while still being a resilient advocate at the Capitol.

I am very passionate about the education of all our youth. My extensive experience in teaching and youth work has given me the knowledge to serve the youth of 61B. We must ensure adequate funding for staff, resources, and materials for the classroom and for community centers. With obstacles such as, "No Child Left Behind," decisions about education need to go back to the local level, instead of federal control. This will improve the quality of education to our students, and provide more opportunity to the community. The system is broken for our young people and we need to make more strides in expanding our youth's options for success, not centralizing services at the national level. We need to give youth the tools so that they can build a future for themselves, and abandon old systems keeping them in the revolving door of poverty.


The Green Party has allowed Farheen to obtain leadership experience and develop skills that are not available in other parties. There are many opportunities for a person to flourish and grow in politics in this party. Farheen appreciates that the Green Party has little involvement with corporate corruption and greed. Also, Farheen sees that the Green Party is willing to take risks on many issues, and have been unapologetic for its progressive stances.
