Sarah-Lee Heinrich (born March 22, 2001, in Iserlohn, Germany)[1] is a German politician for the German Green Party and one of the two speakers of its youth organization, Grüne Jugend.[1]

Early life and education

Heinrich grew up in poverty, being brought up by a single mum on welfare (Hartz IV).[2]

Heinrich completed her abitur at the Pestalozzi-Gymnasium in Unna in 2019,[3] and studied Politics, Sociology and Philosophy from 2019 to 2020 at the University of Bonn before studying Social Sciences from 2020 at the University of Cologne.[4]

Political career

In 2017, she joined the youth organization Grünen Jugend and founded a local chapter in Unna. She was speaker of this local chapter from 2017 to 2019.[5] In 2019, she was speaker of Grünen Jugend Ruhr.[6] At October 9, 2021, she was elected with 93.8% of the votes as one of the two federal speakers of the Grüne Jugend.[1]

Political positions

Heinrich advocates for social justice. She wants to replace Hartz IV with a better system with higher benefits and no sanctions. She also supports anti-racism.[6]

In an interview with Tilo Jung, she said her political views were inspired by Bernie Sanders and his approach to unite working class interests with anti-racism and climate change mitigation in his 2016 presidential campaign.[7]

Controversy

In 2021 when she was just elected as spokeswoman of the Grüne Jugend, tweets that she had written at the age of 13 and 14 and which were described as discriminatory and filled with violence were discussed publicly, after right-wing social media accounts and the tabloid newspaper BILD reported about them initially. Heinrich apologized for those tweets and called them "wrong and hurtful". After vehement attacks like death and rape threats, she temporarily withdrew from the public for a few days.[8][9][10]
