My dream is to create structures for humans. We should design our communities on every level (commune, well-being area and country) based on the needs of the people, and only then think about profiting. To do the work, I need to find allies because I only have a pair of hands.

When I joined The Finnish Left, I found their politics are based on an idea of working together for the common of the whole humankind. Within the politics of The Left, I find the beautifully thought-out weave of principles coupled with realism. This kind of thinking seems like the only way to pave a way to a world that would be better for everyone. The party has also been the only one that has stayed behind their principles in the everyday politics while still being willing to negotiate.

Besides the politics, I have worked at the background of performing arts structures for the common good: to make collective agreements into better ones, to create living contract culture and making sure the professional field of culture would be able to continue living.  Besides this, I keep myself updated on my personal important topics: accesssibility, equity and well-being of everyone.

If you want to give special support in the future, there are three ways to make it happen:

1. Be in contact! Let me know if you want to help me in the future elections. Let me know of your experiences or your opinions. Those interest me.

2. Donate to my work.  I am currently gathering funding for the communal elections in Tampere and area elections at Pirkanmaa. Practical material and possibility to put in effor need money.

3. Vote in the elections. If I am not your choice, I can help you choose yours.

Thank you for taking time to do your part!

SEE ME AT SOCIAL MEDIA

I gather here the places I can be found at social media.

Political History – Turku and South-West Finland 2021-2024

My first candidacy in Finnish municipial elections was in Turku during year 2021, after which I was also a candidate at well-being areas elections in South-West Finland during 2022. As a candidate my priorities were to ensure well-being and basic safety for all the citizens of Turku – and how to let them also have say to things that affect them. In the area elections, I spoke about the well-being areas and hwo to build them as a common, secure structure that doesn’t let anyone from South-West Finland to fall through – especially during the formation stage. I will continue with similar themes in the future elections even if the city and well-being area would change.

 

I have been a vicechair of Turun koulutuspoliittisen Vasemmiston (Turku education-political left), a member at Turku city Swedish section of the comission of education, secretary at Finnish Drama/Theatre Education Association, South-West Finland’s Left’s vice-member, secretary at Turun seudun Seta (regional association for LGBTQAI+ people) and a board member at Turku Dansart.

I will collect below all the links to the relevant “election machines” that I have used in the previous elections. They will answer the practical, relevant questions that I know of, but which I have not yet had time to tell about in other contexts. If you wish to discuss with me about something that concerns me, I will gladly answer your questions and gladly also hear of opposing views.

I have also spared to this site some of the election promises I have made I did notice at some point that these promises are good to list so I can check in with them. It will also give me some accountability: any person who has voted for me can check if I have followed through.

Ay-liikkeen merkitys

Osallistuin tänä viikonloppuna (23.9.-24.9.) SAK:laisten (Suomen Ammattiliittojen Keskusliitto) liittojen nuorille jäsenille tarkoitetulle risteilylle Teatteri- ja mediatyöntekijöiden liitto Temen edustajana. Risteilyllä kohtasin hienoja keskusteluja ja ihmisiä. Sain...

Mitä maakunnat päättävät?

Suomeen on tulossa suuri hallinnollinen uudistus, jossa kuntatasolla ollutta toimintaa järjestellään siirretään maakuntiin aluehallintojen toiminnaksi. On tärkeää, että tämä uudistus tehdään järkevästi - ja että uuden alueen päättäjiksi valitaan ihmiset oikein, sillä...

Miksi maailman parantaminen on niin vaikeaa?

Pohdin tänään, mikseivät ihmiset saa enää parantaa maailmaa. Olen seurannut hieman keskustelua, ja minua hämmentää kovasti, että nämä asiat herättävät yhä keskustelua. Jos huomaat itse raivostuvasi siitä, että joku toinen on rakentamassa kaikille parempaa maailmaa, miettisitkö hetken, millaista maailmaa itse rakennat?

Pormestariohjelman asiayhteys

Tänä aamuna pohdin hieman sitä, mikä on laajempi kuva liittyen Vasemmistoliitonkin hyväksymään pormestarisopimukseen. Siellä on mielestäni joitain ongelmallisia muotoiluja - vaikka toisaalta hyväksyn myös, että muotoilut ovat vain niitä: muotoiluja. Todellisuudessa...

Vastuu ja sen kantaminen

Kerron hieman ajatuksiani inhimillisestä ja poliittisesta vastuusta tämän päivän vaalimökkitapaamisten inspiroimana: kumpaakin tarvitsen.

Esitysten tekemisen hinta

Tuntuu siltä, että ihmiset eivät ymmärrä, millainen työmäärä taiteelliseen työhön liittyy. Kerron siksi hieman omasta näkökulmastani, live-esityksen rakentamisesta.

SOOL ja resurssit

Resurssien ohjaaminen oppimisen edellytyksiin ja laatuun on yksinkertainen satsaus tulevaisuuteen. Miksi emme tekisi sitä?
