All power to the students!!

Hi, I’m Irmak — a Political Science student with organizing experience in the Workers’ Party and Activistenpartij UvA.

I’m running to reject the corporate, top-down model of our faculty. We’re treated like customers or inmates — managed and ignored. But students are the heart of this university.

Once elected I’ll:

-Demand to cut ties to Israel by creating internal pressure

– Advocate for curriculum reform through a student-led decolonization committee

– Promote participatory budgeting to give students real control over spending

– Submit motions on protesting rights, ending mandatory attendance,and question the board

– Host open assemblies and direct feedback forms to ensure accountability

For a democratic, decolonial, decarbonized university — all power to the students!
