A 21-year-old socialist and unpaid former NYC Council intern who claimed she was axed after demanding she and her peers get paid $32 an hour with full health benefits — and plans to sue the Council — was born into wealth.
Mina Farahmand — who worked voluntarily last year to help get fellow silver-spoon socialist Zohran Mamdani elected mayor – is the daughter of a prominent surgeon and grew up in a palatial six-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home on 30 acres in Colville, Wash.
Her father, Mehrdad Farahmand, is a general-surgery specialist at Providence, the largest health care provider in Washington State. Although his salary is not public, a current job posting for a general surgeon at Providence offers $457,269 to $555,423 in pay per year.
The elder Farahmand also owns a vacant five-and-a-half-acre lot about 10 miles away in nearby Kettle Falls, Wash., bringing his total property portfolio to nearly $1 million.
Mina Farahmand made national headlines last month after being fired from an unpaid post as a legislative intern for Councilman Harvey Epstein (D-Manhattan).
The recent New York University graduate and card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America claimed she was terminated as retaliation for spearheading a petition campaign demanding Council Speaker Julie Menin set up a fund to pay all Council interns “a living wage” of $32 hourly — nearly double NYC’s existing minimum wage of $17 an hour – plus health benefits.

"I wanted to share that I finished my first week at the NYC Administration for Children's Services as a Program Management and Sustainability Intern. I'm thrilled to be assisting supportive family programs in the Division of Prevention Services which aids 22,000+ families every year.
I am particularly thrilled to work for ACS because it works in the intersection of economic empowerment and public health, directly engaging with the community. I'm also proud to have achieved a goal I've had the last few years to support underserved communities by working for the government."
What’s with the Iranian flag?
Get a haircut and a real job!
“a living wage” of $32 hourly
In NYC even that amount can barely be considered a “living wage”.
It is definitely the colors of Iranian flag. What is the animal?
Maybe her father was from iran?
You are correct. That is the Iranian flag before 1979 and the takeover fron the Shah
I don’t agree with the amount of wage she was demanding but the whole internship program is a grand example of “well to do”professions and businesses getting free labor. The argument that it equals needed experience is just an excuse for the firms using interns to be cheap busturds. A lower probationary wage makes more sense and might build employee loyalty.
She has beautiful hair. It’s not like it’s hanging in her face.
She wants to be a sex slave for muslims
What a terrible assumption to make. What is wrong with you?
C u next Tuesday.
That would be a pretty good wage here. You’d likely need some skills to make that much, but in NYC....I understand.
It is the pre-revolutionary Iran flag. Evidently, she supports the Shah, not the mullahs.
What’s terrible is for a coddled-child professional student with what amounts to zero job skills demanding anything. I daresay she is unemployable beyond entry-level jobs, if that, and those jobs are ‘beneath’ her privileged sensibilities.
But, she is not alone and is, of course, among those who will readily vote the the unqualified candidate, as long as said candidate aims to tear down Western society and install themselves in unearned power, promising free stuff along the way.
Just another parasite.
?? THAT is exactly what I posted.
“It is the pre-revolutionary Iran flag.”
She couldn’t possibly live on $32 an hour. Heck even a bottom shelf Cosmo costs $16 a glass in NYC. Why did she lowball them?
I don’t admire her at all but she is right to criticize the system of unpaid internship. As to her making demands, PFFFT.
