@ausmalik decision to run for municipal election gives all racialized young girls & women out there hope that they can one day run for office! Representation matters! Ausma should be the typical candidate for a city that 52% of its population identify as visible minorities!

[Anjum Sultana (She/Her) @AnjumSultana]

.@ausmalik is the type of leadership and representation we need in #Toronto.

Excited to see how Ausma makes Spadina-Fort York and the city more just, caring, and inclusive!
