Upcoming LEVinar: Facts vs. Myths - Understanding Washington’s Millionaire’s Tax (Senate Bill 6346)

Join us this coming Wednesday, March 4 at 12:30 pm for a timely and informative session unpacking Senate Bill 6346, Washington state’s proposed Millionaire’s Tax, which would establish a 9.9% income tax on annual earnings above $1 million. We will walk through what the bill actually does—including its projected revenue impact, who would be affected, how funds would support K-12 education, health care, childcare, and public defense services, and the tax relief provisions for small businesses and working families.

LEVinar Recording: Washington Thriving - Supporting Child, Youth, and Young Adult Behavioral Health

Washington’s young people are facing growing behavioral health needs, and leaders across the state are working together to build a more coordinated, equitable system of support. Washington Thriving is our state’s new strategic plan for developing a Prenatal to 25 strategic plan for well-being that centers lived experience and outlines a statewide roadmap to improve behavioral health for children, youth, young adults, and their families.

This webinar features Washington state Representative Lisa Callan (D-5), Sarah Rafton, Policy & Advocacy Director at Behavioral Health Catalyst, and students from across Washington state. Together, they discuss the challenges young people face, key elements of the Washington Thriving plan, and House Bill 2429, which would help implement the plan by establishing statewide coordination, creating a leadership council, and aligning behavioral health efforts across agencies.

Learn how Washington can strengthen behavioral health supports from before birth through age 25 — and how community members, policymakers, and youth can help shape a healthier future for all.
