There's never been a better time for a Millionaires Tax!

February 4, 2026
This week, a meaningful opportunity for Washington State to fix its inequitable tax code and stabilize our state’s overall health was introduced in the legislature. This Millionaires Tax (HB 2725/SB 6346) will be a major structural shift in the direction of fairness and tax justice. It asks millionaires to pay a little more while we bolster sufficient funding for essential programs and become less reliant on regressive taxes like the sales and property tax.

Tell Congress: No Cuts to Health Care and Child Care to Fund War — Stop the "Big, Ugly Bill 2.0"

April 13, 2026
The administration has released a 2027 budget proposal that threatens to slash funding for essential family programs like health care and child care. MomsRising is mobilizing to stop "Reconciliation 2.0" — a legislative process that would divert taxpayer dollars away from our communities to fund historic military increases and human rights abuses.

Tell Congress to Protect Medicaid Home- and Community-Based Services — HCBS

April 6, 2026
This Medicaid Awareness Month, MomsRising is fighting to protect Medicaid Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS). These essential services allow older adults and people with disabilities to live and age with dignity in their own homes rather than in costly institutions. With federal funding under attack, your voice is needed to tell Congress to safeguard this critical care infrastructure.
