Our friends at @itep.org dig into how the Millionaires Tax and the expanded Working Families Tax Credit will have a positive impact on the well-being of people throughout our state and how it will improve our inequitable tax code! #WaLeg #WaGov

Scattered local jurisdictions pulling their weight on the housing crisis isn't enough, we need statewide support - and HB 2266 provides it. Two local Councilmembers in Spokane and Aberdeen on the STEP Housing bill that just passed #WALeg 🥳 www.realchangenews.org/news/2026/03...

A huge thank you to the House lawmakers who stayed up day and night and day again to pass the Millionaires Tax tonight. Aiming for a better, more fair Washington!

Representative Mena: "Our outdated tax structure no longer allows us to take care of one another."

It has begun, the #WALeg House has begun debate on the Millionaires Tax! This is the final vote in the House, and once it passes here (and the Senate concurs in any changes), then it's on to @governorferguson.bsky.social's desk to become law!

The #WALeg House still has yet to vote on the Millionaires Tax! Our sources say that phone calls to lawmakers’ offices urging them to vote YES are what’s needed right now to keep the bill moving. We've made that easy by setting up a simple way to plug in your info and call them with one click:

Washington has only 28 affordable and available homes for every 100 extremely low-income renters, and some of our communities are even more impacted. Read more: www.wliha.org/blog/gap-rep... #TheGap26 nlihc.org/gap

Yes! HB 2266 passed the Senate earlier this evening - great news for the siting of critical housing and shelter in communities across our state. Read more on our blog: www.wliha.org/blog/house-b...

That's right!!! 👏👏👏 Even after paying the proposed Millionaires Tax, a household earning $1.5 million per year would still be left with $117,188 per month. By contrast, Washington’s current median household income is $98,141 per year... #WALeg

Housing Alliance Advocacy Organizer Po Leapai testified this morning in favor of SSB 6346, also known as the Millionaires Tax: “The Millionaire Tax finally offers Washington an opportunity toward a brighter future.”

Rep. Berg says 19,000 fraudulent sign ins were scammed onto this bill, including at least 2,000 people who were signed in without their consent. There was a press conference about this on Monday: investwanow.org/press-releas...

MILLIONAIRES TAX HAS ARRIVED IN THE HOUSE! #WALeg Finance Committee hearing on making the wealthy few pay more of what they truly owe in taxes to our communities is kicking off now. Follow along for highlights 🧵👇

🔴 RELEASE: Supporters of the Millionaires Tax were fraudulently signed in “con” for tomorrow’s House Finance Committee hearing. These fraudulent sign-ins call into question just how broad the opposition to this tax actually is. https://investwanow.org/press-releases/millionaires-tax-hearing-fraud

Lemme tell y'all, it was a TRIP to wake up Friday morning and see that my name was signed in opposed to this bill... ....at 2:07am

"Well-funded schools, access to health care, and strong communities benefit all of us. We all have a stake in the future of our state, and it’s time for the wealthiest among us to contribute equitably toward that. Let’s pass the Millionaires Tax." #WAleg www.seattleschild.com/washington-m...

After a historic victory in the #WALeg Senate, the Millionaires Tax to rebalance our upside-down tax code has its 1st hearing in the House! Sign your name in "PRO" today to show your support for a future where everyone, not just the wealthiest, can thrive in WA: app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Testifie...

The Millionaires Tax to fund schools, health care, & expand the Working Families Tax Credit is halfway to becoming law! The lies from MAGA Republicans & their wealthy donors are in overdrive. Let's dispel some myths, explain what the Millionaires tax really is, & why working people would benefit:

HB 2266 passed out of the House late last night, and now moves to the Senate Housing Committee for a hearing on Friday at 10:30am. You know what that means! It’s time to sign in PRO to ensure communities won’t put up roadblocks to affordable housing and shelter! app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Testifie... #waleg

The bottom income earners are paying 6x as much as millionaires are in taxes. The Millionaires Tax is about creating a future that our children deserve. "None of us succeed alone, we know that. every thriving business needs education for workforce, medical care helps people join our economy."

Senator Pedersen: "It is a continuing shame for me that we have one of the most regressive tax systems in the country, asking poor and middle income people to pay 4x as much of their income as we ask wealthy residents to pay."

The Senate is debating the Millionaires Tax right now!! tvw.org/video/senate...

It's finally happening, the #WALeg Senate is voting on the Millionaires Tax! This will likely be a marathon of a debate as everyone in the chamber wants to speak their piece.

The Senate floor is considering the Millionaires Tax right now! We'll be posting updates as they happen.

The Millionaires Tax is up for a vote on the Senate floor. Senators need to join 61% of Washingtonians in supporting this bill. The wealthy should pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes so that working people can pay a lower percentage. #WALeg

@wslc.bsky.social's President April Sims is kicking off the Millionaires Tax Rally on the steps of the #WALeg capitol building! @balanceourtaxcode.bsky.social

The Millionaires Tax will make our tax code more just, expand access to the Working Families Tax Credit, and help fund the programs that make Washington a great place to live. Check out this statement from our executive director 👇 #WaLeg

Washington should protect consumers from payday loan debt, which is why we join our friends at the Poverty Action Network in opposing HB 2361 and SB 6250. These bills would make it easier for consumers to fall deeper into debt. Take action - secure.ngpvan.com/HHRgVB14Fk6i...

Starting now on TVW.org, in the Senate Housing Committee, is a hearing on SB 6069, which would require communities to allow the development of supportive housing, transitional housing, and shelter to help prevent and end homelessness: tvw.org/video/senate... #waleg

While the governor's support of a Millionaires Tax is an exciting move for WA's budget & tax code in the long term, we also need lawmakers to enact progressive revenue solutions now. What we DON’T need? Additional harmful cuts to the programs that help our communities thrive. Read more. #WaLeg

UP NOW: @organizewithshaun.bsky.social's Well Washington Fund (HB 2100) is up for a public hearing in #WALeg! This bill would fund higher education, health care, & housing by requiring the largest corporations to pay payroll tax on the highest salaries, like their employees already do.

Michele Thomas @wahousingalliance.bsky.social "asking those who are most comfortable to contribute to the wellbeing of their neighbors is not radical, it is necessity" Notes Trump cuts to affordable housing $$ will increase homelessness. "Well WA Fund is most likely tool to offset harm this year"

Sign in PRO for House Bill 2100, which would ensure that wealthy corporations pay their fair share to support critical services across Washington that benefit us all. Sign in by 12:30pm on Thursday, Jan. 22, at app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Testifie.... #waleg
