Hi, my name is Hannah Thomas, and I’m a lawyer, activist and writer, currently renting on unceded Gadigal land in Newtown.
I moved to this country in 2009 as an international student. I know what it's like to experience racism and live in a state of visa precarity. I’m lucky to have grown up in a family with strong progressive values and have been involved in community organising and activism for years, on issues such as refugee rights, the climate crisis, integrity in politics and freedom for Palestine.
I love the Inner West. As an immigrant, I’ve found the people in our community to be some of the warmest, kindest and most generous people I’ve met in this country. They deserve someone who will fight for them and who genuinely represents their values.
