Sadie Dean is a racial justice advocate native to the Tampa Bay area. Her interest in political theory and movement work peaked while attending the University of Florida. Sparked by 2016 elections and the subsequent rise of hate crimes and criminalization within the Black community, Sadie co-founded the Restorative Justice Coalition; a Central Florida based advocacy organization that focuses on community healing and education through the implementation of restorative practices within the criminal justice system, municipal policy and day to day interactions. In 2017, Sadie worked alongside her RJC to collaboratively constructing Tampa's Sex Work Solidarity Network --- an organization that provides resources and safe spaces to marginalized sex workers across the state of Florida and beyond. Sadie continues to pursue advocacy work surrounding racial, criminal justice, education, and legislativereform throughout the State of Florida.

Throughout the 2018 midterm elections, Sadie consulted with Color of Change PAC to mobilize 30,000 Floridians on the ground surrounding the Amendment 4 initiative, voter education and engagement. She currently works as Color of Change's Senior Training Manager, supporting membership on the ground to develop leadership, and providing COC members with skills to build and sustain real world change communities.

Following her introduction to public narrative in the Harvard Kennedy School in 2019, Sadie has centered much of her organizing efforts in coaching and training elected officials and organizers across the nation in public narrative and effective movement building. She continues to support her local community through grassroot community healing efforts in her free time.
