FINSBURY PARK WARD

My name is Amu  Gib. I am standing for election with Islington Community Independents  while on remand in HMP Bronzefield for allegedly spray‑painting two RAF warplanes, used to assist bombing Palestinians. I endured a 49‑day  hunger strike opposing genocide.

I  grew up in Finsbury Park and attended Pakeman and Montem primary  schools, Islington Arts and Media School and City and Islington Sixth  Form College. 

Before my arrest last year, I worked in a wide  variety of jobs including community support worker, bicycle mechanic  (I am a keen cyclist), and NHS patient transport driver. 

As your Finsbury Park councillor, I will fight for: 

• Homes with dignity. End evictions, hold landlords to account, and fight for real social housing.
• Keeping each other safe. Open youth spaces and fund mutual aid, not over‑policing or surveillance tech.
• Education for all. Train more SEN educators and build local support networks focused on children’s wellbeing.
• Fund our lives, not war. Lobby to redirect government war budgets to  councils, which includes funding for AI military tech giant Palantir,  used in our hospitals.
