I think we need a real alternative to mainstream parties - an alternative that opposes oppression and creates a better world for the working class, young people and migrants.
Hi my name is Kit. I’m running with Victorian Socialists as the Clarinda candidate in the upcoming state election because I believe that we desperately need a more equitable economic system than the one we have today.
I'm a Clayton local who is studying science at Monash university. As a renter I see first hand how unequal the housing market is right now and the effects of a worsening cost of living crisis.
The major party politicians and One Nation are backed by the billionaires and big corporations. They won’t fight for ordinary people’s interests.
There is a massive transfer of wealth going on from the poorest to the richest in this country - while most are doing it tough, the wealthy are seeing massive profits. All at the same time our government continues to cut welfare and instead sinks billions into the military.
Alongside this, we are seeing a massive rise of the far right, backed by billionaires like Gina Rinehart, who are normalising anti-migrant racism to a frightening extent. I want to challenge this state of affairs. We need to tackle the cost of living and housing crisis now so everyone can live a decent life.
I’ve been a community organiser and activist for years now. I’ve been involved in campaigns against racism and fascism including a successful campaign to shut down a nazi-operated gym in the western suburbs.
In recent times, I’ve campaigned in solidarity with the people of Palestine and against Israel’s war on Gaza. I've helped organise student campaigns for our universities and governments to cut ties with the genocide in Palestine and to kick the military off campus.
I think we need a real alternative to mainstream parties - an alternative that opposes oppression and creates a better world for the working class, young people and migrants. If elected I’ll fight for this world that we all deserve.
