What’s Going On: Policy Considerations to Address Wealth Inequality

Come here from community leaders about both why we need to and how we can put in place policies and programs that help people overcome systemic poverty and wealth inequality. There are several programs that we know have been very effective and some creative ideas are being proposed such as Baby Bonds and a Guaranteed Basic Income. In addition, Washington State has one of the most regressive tax structures in the US. Many are taking note and proposing real solutions for our state legislature to contemplate in the upcoming 2024 session, including a wealth tax, reformed estate tax, and other ideas.
