My name is Jennifer and I grew up here in the Pacific Northwest. My familys name is Bereskin from the Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska - Unangax/Aleut clan. I am a single mother to a seven year old special needs child with autism. I am low income and I have been working to undo a century of chronic poverty, racism, discrimination and colonialism genocide while embracing my ancestors cultural traditions in Unalaska and Coastal Natives in Washington. At this time I advocate for housing & homelessness policy & budget reform on the WLIHA - RAP Resident Action Project Steering Committee. The county level I serve as a board member for the Snohomish County Community Services Advisory Council (CSAC) and at the State level I serve on Governor Jay Inslee Poverty Reduction Work Group Steering Committee member for low income representation where I have been assisting our State departments on policy revision and education on navigating all our State and Federal government systems to better serve our community. As a Social Justice advocate over the past 10 years I’ve worked to eliminate barriers against various populations struggling against racism & discriminatory barriers within Government, public and private sphere. All voices are required to be represented in the power structure. As an Alaskan Native woman I can represent the voices of most marginalized communities.
I graduated Emerge Washington and as a woman of color I am looking to run for County Council which is currently held by 4 white males and one white female. I would like to provided my experiences and advocacy to best serve my community. As low income, I am asking for assistance with the filing fee which is topping around 1235.00. Many people impacted by poverty and oppression like myself are often not able to beat the barriers, leaving our voices out of the power structure. Please Donate! I would like to be one of the few women of color elected in our county. Thank You!
