Tara Miller grew up in Virginia and moved to Seattle in 2012. They’ve been thrilled to collaborate with familiar faces in faith communities and community organizations spanning their work at Mary’s Place, Faith Action Network, and the Church Council. They hold a Masters of Arts in Transforming Spirituality from Seattle University, and enjoy using that experience at the Church Council to facilitate cultural shifts to create alignment with our mission and vision. They value relationships as the core of community organizing, and they work to build smooth and transparent operations systems to support and communicate our work. 

Tara’s deepest places of learning and praxis have been facilitated by communities impacted by systemic oppression, through coming into their queerness and genderqueerness, and by connecting with people of faith and conscience who work for systemic change. Tara finds joy in adventuring across the state, doing photoshoots with their friends, thrifting for wild costumes, watching and performing in drag shows, and sneaking cuddles from their standoffish husky-child Kodi.
