Let's talk about the Millionaires Tax! And a new poll that shows voters want it. #WashingtonState #EverettWA #BellinghamWA #YakimaWA

There's lots of talk about a millionaire's tax in Washington! So what is it, and who does it affect?

In the Everett Herald! "Oh, the hardships of wealth, at least for fewer than half of the top 1 percent of the state’s earners." https://www.heraldnet.com/opinion/editorial-millionaires-tax-can-deliver-fairness-revenue/

It's the first day of Washington state's legislative session! Let's start it off by telling lawmakers to protect funding we all rely on, and to make billionaires in our state pay what they owe in taxes: https://investwanow.org/stop-cuts-only-budget

Why a lobby day? Because lobby days are your best opportunity to talk face to face with lawmakers! RSVP here for the January 26th Lobby Day with @balanceourtaxcode.bsky.social: https://balanceourtaxcode.com/

"The idea that we need to cut from one direct service that our communities rely on in order to fund another public service is wrong.” - State Superintendent Chris Reykdal https://www.theurbanist.org/2026/01/05/fergusons-2026-budget-queues-steep-cuts-pushes-millionaires-tax-to-2029/

Sign the petition now to ensure the governor doesn't prioritize cuts in the state budget:

Let's choose to tax billionaires.

Long-term care workers are raising the alarm on the dangers of cutting funding for long-term care. "Less is simply not an option, even in difficult budget times." https://www.heraldnet.com/opinion/comment-state-funding-cuts-would-devastate-long-term-care/

Most people have no idea how rich the super rich actually are -- this study shows just how far off we are.

Washingtonians -- even wealthy Washingtonians -- want to see our budget balanced by taxing the rich. Here are the stories activists are sharing with lawmakers!

Time for the super rich to pay what they owe in Washington state.

NEW in the New York Times: Mitt Romney says it's time to tax billionaires! https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/opinion/romney-tax-the-rich.html

Just how big of a raise have some of Seattle's CEOs gotten? Check out this chart from the Seattle Times:

Have you written your note to lawmakers yet? These Washingtonians have -- and they're ready to tax billionaires in our state to fund the things we need. Take action here ⬇️ https://investwanow.org/stop-cuts-only-budget

It's time for Washington to step up.

Seattle-area CEOs are getting raises, but it's budget cuts for the rest of us?

"There aren’t enough things for us to cut to make up for that loss," - Dr. Elaine Batchlor, M.L.K.’s chief executive. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/upshot/urban-hospitals-medicaid-cuts.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

The Governor just announced that he's planning an "all cuts budget," but frankly, Washingtonians can't afford more cuts. Tell the Governor and lawmakers to make mega-millionaires and billionaires pay what they owe so we can fund programs Washingtonians need ⬇️ investwanow.org/stop-cuts-on...

"CEO pay packages hit another high last year, and some of the Seattle area’s largest companies are contributing to that trend." https://www.seattletimes.com/business/local-business/ceo-pay-spiked-at-microsoft-starbucks-how-much-do-seattles-chiefs-make/

It shouldn't need to be said.

"... the wealthiest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of the stock market, according to Federal Reserve data. The poorest 50% own just 1.1%." https://fortune.com/2025/12/01/what-is-k-shaped-economy-inequality-inflation-rich-poor/

As Congress is making the rich even richer, we need to take action in WA to protect the programs families rely on.

Do taxes in Washington feel unfair to you? Correct, they are. The solution is restructuring taxes for fairness so that all Washingtonians can have the services & systems they need.

Let's be clear about why our state is in a budget crisis.
