Legislative Session has officially come to a close! This was certainly a challenging year, but together we made some real progress for WA kids and families, like passage of the Millionaires Tax and the WA Thriving Strategic Plan. Thank you to everyone who advocated with us this year!

Thank you to all the lawmakers who worked through 25 hours of floor debate to pass the #MillionairesTax! Revenue from this bill will help fund early learning, expand the Working Families Tax Credit, and provide sales tax exemptions for essential items for kids and families. Next, on to the Senate!
