About Kadira Pethiyagoda
My geopolitics experience and understanding of the public mood, deployed in service of socialist values, can establish the political direction the CEC needs in this moment.
The two goals upon which YP can win mass support – economic equality and peace – are those I’ve worked for when advising MPs, Shadow-Ministers, and institutions like the International Criminal Court, and serving as a diplomat and with Unite the Union (helping the CEC advance Conference’s policy choices).
As a Parliamentary Candidate in Australia, I stood on this platform, mobilising 400+ volunteers.
Experience appearing on mainstream media (BBC, Al-Jazeera) and critiquing it (Huffington-Post articles), can help us navigate the hostile media landscape.
