No matter what we look like, where we come from, or how we make a living, most of us work hard for our families. We pay our share of taxes, and yet our communities struggle and we don’t have all the resources we need to build good lives for our families. For too long, a few of the wealthiest individuals in our state have rigged the rules for their own financial interests. Together, we are making big changes.
We’re fighting for a fair and just tax code so all Washingtonians can thrive.
Billionaires, and their politicians in DC, are hurting our children, our communities to fund a massive tax giveaway to the wealthiest in our country. We won’t let them take away what working Washingtonians really need - healthcare, food, and housing.

We need a Washington State economy that works for all of us.
WASHINGTON STATE IS SECOND-WORST IN THE U.S.
Right now, our state is in a budget crisis because Washington's mega-millionaires and billionaires are paying a much smaller share than the rest of us for schools, housing, hospitals, and transportation. They pay just 3% while working families pay up to 17%. That's why WA is the second worst state in the nation when it comes to our regressive taxes.
MAKING THE SUPER-RICH PAY WHAT THEY OWE
When mega-millionaires, billionaires, and big corporations pay what they owe in taxes, Washington will have better schools, affordable health care, enough housing, and much more. We've already taken the first step: passing a capital gains tax on the top 0.2% to fund billions for education and childcare. There's so much more to do!
COMING TOGETHER FROM ACROSS WA
When the wealthy pay what they owe, we will be able to provide the schools, hospitals, childcare, housing, and other vital services every community - from Walla Walla to Port Angeles - needs to thrive.
