| Info | Raised on Chicago’s South Side, Dr. Ameena witnessed the devastating impact violence had on the place she called home. As a result, she was inspired to tackle the issue of violence at the roots: she received her Ph.D. and became a violence intervention expert. Dr. Ameena runs a non-profit, Pause for Peace, dedicated to employing science-supported strategies to break the cycle of violence in our community.
That’s why they call Dr. Ameena the “interrupter.” Dr. Ameena will bring that philosophy to Washington, DC. She will “interrupt” the corrupt political machine that has been an obstacle to real progress in the 1st district.
Dr. Ameena will advance progressive policies aimed at empowering communities by supporting universal healthcare, reforming the criminal justice system, investing in communities and the environment with a Green New Deal, and recognizing that housing is a human right.
