Fartun's trip to DFL Convention
Donation protected
My name is Fartun Weli. I am asking for your support to help me attend this year's DFL National Convention. It is important for Muslim immigrants to be visible at this convention to combat the hatred and divisive atmosphere that is being perpetrated in the state of Minnesota and nationwide against Muslims.
As the executive director of, a small non-profit that serves Somali women and their families. I know how critical it is for recent immigrants to understand the importance of voting and its relationship to their long-term success and prosperity in Minnesota and the United States of America.
My attendance at the DFL National Convention will enable me to participate in the political process firsthand, and to then return to Minnesota to share my experiences with our community. My goal is to use what I learn and experience at the DFL Convention to empower our constituents to get involved in the political process and to affirm that Minnesota/USA is their country too!
Attending the 2016 DFL National Convention is a dream that you can help me fulfill! My trip will cost between $4000. The funding will be used to cover travel expenses, incluing roundtrip airfare, hotel, meals, and transportation. Your gift is much appreciated! Thank you in advance for your support.
