HELLO, MY NAME IS TATIANA BROWN

I'm an organizer and collaborative governance leader, driven by the question of how we shift power back to communities long excluded from decision-making spaces.

I came to Seattle to build a better toolkit for systems change, and I landed at the University of Washington where I gained Masters degrees in Public Health and Public Administration.

At UW, I led the Campus Sustainability Fund, a student-run grant making organization committed to Climate Justice and dove into issues affecting Washingtonians like wealth inequality, a regressive tax structure, worker protections, housing, and protecting communities on the front line of the climate crisis.

Throughout my life in Seattle, the 37th became my political and cultural home—a center of gravity for my organizing.

Now, I’m running to shift power back to my neighbors in the beautiful 37th, the cultural heart and soul of Washington State.

Learn more about me and why I’m running.

I’M FIGHTING FOR A STATE THAT WORKING FAMILIES CAN AFFORD

I know a better future is possible, because I've helped build it.

I've been part of pivotal wins like the Virginia Medicaid Expansion Campaign in 2019. I helped implement landmark policy like Washington’s HEAL Act as a co-chair for the Washington State Environmental Justice Council. I've tested out ways to challenge the status quo of what genuine democracy looks like through building out tools like Community Assemblies at the People's Economy Lab. Now I’m bringing what I’ve learned and what I’ve worked on to the State Legislature to build a government that works for the people—not those with the most wealth, time, or political influence.

Tatiana Brown Makes Case for Open Senate Seat

“Tatiana Brown is running for the open 37th District State Senate seat on a platform of progressive tax reform, environmental justice, expanded public safety alternatives, and community-driven governance.” - Crystal Fincher

Tatiana Brown Makes Case for Open Senate Seat in the 37th District
Hacks & Wonks

“What does it mean to be an elected official? What does it mean to be responsible for 160,000 constituents? What does it mean to listen to the voices that typically aren’t represented?”‍ ‍

“In these times where we are being so discouraged and it’s easy to fall into despair, you’ve got to just do it. And remind folks we can do it, the future is not settled, and we get to decide something different for ourselves.”

‍The Pop-Up!: Tatiana Brown & Silas James (Converge Media)

“I come from the youth movement for climate justice — there are a lot of young folks that feel despair. We see the state of the world, and we ask ourselves these questions ‘how do we actually go about and make change?’ There needs to be strong pathways where we see that change happen.”

O: “What are they getting wrong in Olympia where they’re collecting more revenue from the everyday person. but safety nets as disappearing?”

T: “What we’re getting wrong is we’re collecting revenue from the everyday person. Our state budget is incredibly over-leveraged. Over 51% of the money that our state pulls in each year — that we rely on to support all these public services — comes from excise taxes. AKA taxes that we pay, every single time that we exchange money for a good or a service. Fundamentally, that’s wrong.”

A New Vision for Washington with Simon Okelo

“It shouldn’t be too much to ask that the person who serves you: lives with you, and they’re here for you all the time. They shouldn’t be hard to reach. I should be around, constantly, asking how I can serve you.”

“When you are approaching those questions of what does it mean to actually create justice? What does social justice mean? What does it mean when our communities are literally living shorter lives because these systems are not investing in us? Because we can’t access?”

“I think for me the desire to fight is that we keep having these medium solutions and we keep putting band-aids on things that really need transformative change. We need people that are courageous and willing to stand up, and fight for the people we love and we care about.”
