Hi I’m Adam. I’m running in this year’s council election as a candidate with Victorian Socialists because I believe in a society that puts people before profit. I’m a Reservoir local and have lived in the area for 10 years. I’m a mental health social worker in the northern and western suburbs and a proud member of the Australian Services Union.
In a wealthy society like Australia, everyone should have the chance to live a decent life. Today, the people at the top are seeing their wealth grow rapidly, while most of us are being left behind. Councils have a responsibility to help turn this situation around, and tackle urgent issues like the housing shortage and cost of living crisis.
I’ve been a community organiser and activist for many years. I’ve been involved in campaigns for workers rights, and against racism and the privatisation of services. In recent times, I’ve campaigned in solidarity with the people of Palestine and against Israel’s war in Gaza. I believe in the power of collective action by the community.
If elected in October, I’ll fight for our community and for the better world that we need and deserve.
