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 to Support the Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act — Senate Bill 4297

April 29, 2026
Public schools provide the foundation for our communities, yet a federal voucher scheme currently siphons vital resources away from neighborhood classrooms to line the pockets of wealthy donors. Sens. Mark Kelly and Mazie Hirono recently introduced the Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act (S. 4297) to repeal this unaccountable program and return those dollars to our children. Your advocacy forces Congress to prioritize neighborhood schools, protects resources for teachers and counselors, and ensures that students with disabilities receive the specialized support they deserve.

Demand the DOJ Release Every Page of the Epstein Files — Epstein Files Transparency Act

April 20, 2026
The Department of Justice continues to withhold millions of pages of records despite the legally mandated deadline set by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. While the DOJ has redacted information to shield the powerful and well-connected — including 37 missing pages regarding allegations involving President Trump — it has simultaneously failed to protect the personal information of survivors. MomsRising is demanding that the DOJ comply with the law immediately to ensure no individual is above the law and survivors receive the transparency they deserve.

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.
