Tell lawmakers: WA needs new progressive revenue, not cuts to vital programs
Washington state is facing a daunting budget deficit and vital programs could face cuts as a result. Instead of cutting our way out of the budget deficit, lawmakers should support progressive revenue proposals, like a tax on extreme wealth, that would not only help cover the budget deficit but also make our tax code more equitable. For too long, our state has relied on regressive taxation, like the sales tax, which forces working families to contribute a higher percentage of their income in taxes than the wealthiest residents of our state.
Share your story: Social media and behavioral health
Sharing your story is one of the most valuable, effective, and important forms of communication – it helps to persuade decision makers, move people to action, and connect others to Children’s Alliance’s mission.
We are advocating for Senate Bill 5708, which will work to mitigate and prevent the harmful effects of social media on kids’ behavioral health by prohibiting platforms from providing addictive feeds to minors and sending push notifications to them during school and sleep hours. It will also allow any user, regardless of age, to opt in to settings that allow them to avoid addictive feeds, stop seeing “likes” and other feedback, receive a feed without recommended media, and enhance their privacy on the platform.
