Martyna Jałoszyńska

Martyna Jałoszyńska is a city councilwoman in Warsaw and the local leader of the Polish left-wing political party Razem. Razem is a young party inspired by the Nordic left; they support principles of social democracy, advocate for labor rights, and oppose the privatization of public services. Their main propositions are: gender equality (including liberalization of Poland’s abortion law), counteracting the housing crisis, progressive taxation, and reducing working hours. Their actions are in line with UN Sustainable Development Goals, such as Reduced Inequality, Climate Action, Gender Equality, No Poverty, or Decent Work and Economic Growth.

Martyna is a leader of party structures in the capital city, especially focused on feminism, gender equality, and reducing inequalities. She successfully led the negotiations that resulted in her party gaining 13 seats in local government structures. As a candidate for the city council, she gathered 6,707 votes, which resulted in her winning a seat and becoming one of the two first councilwomen in Warsaw that Razem has ever had.

Martyna studied Polish philology, Gender Studies, and Advertisement and Promotion. Outside of politics, she works as Project Manager for an NGO; she manages international projects connected to journalism. She’s an ambassador for the European Democracy Youth Network and a former scout leader. She thrives on working with young people, especially young women, and is dedicated to making politics more accessible to young people, especially those living outside of large cities.
