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.

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.

April 6, 2026
