Statement
Hi everyone! My name is Iina, an MSc student living in Gorgie, and I am re-running to be Committee Secretary for the Edinburgh Greens branch committee. I’m non-binary and use pronouns she/they.
A little bit about me. My journey with the green movement started when I joined the Green Party of Finland at 16. Before moving to Scotland in 2014 to study, I had been active in both my local branch, the international working groups and the 2012 Finnish presidential elections for the Green candidate. Whilst I only joined SGP in 2019, I have always held values aligning with the Scottish Greens.
The past year I have had the opportunity to not only act as Clerk for the Women’s Network and Committee Secretary for the Edinburgh Greens, but also work for one of our amazing Green MSPs and support the campaigns of my friends and colleagues in the local elections. I have grown a lot in 2021/2022 as a Green activist and I am excited to keep supporting my local branch.
Thank you for reading and I hope I have your support!
