The 2024 Legislative Session Starts Today!
This year is a short session, which means we only have 60 days to pass legislation to transform cash assistance programs and help Washingtonians meet their basic needs. We're hitting the ground running this week with committee hearings on several of our key policy priorities.
Whether our work is unpaid or underpaid, we work hard to meet our needs and pursue our goals. We each contribute in our own unique ways to our loved ones and our community. We all deserve to get the help we need, no matter what. When we have a solid foundation to meet our needs, we can take opportunities to build the life we want.
This week, lawmakers are hearing bills that would create a statewide Guaranteed Basic Income Pilot and reinstate hardship time limit exemptions for families on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). These bills would make cash assistance programs work better for the people they exist to help and give Washingtonians the resources to meet their basic needs.
Tell your lawmakers: Vote YES to transform cash assistance programs and help Washingtonians meet their basic needs.
