With our coalition partners, we share these background papers and fact sheets on our legislative priorities. Each Fact Sheet will help you understand the basics and articulate one or two talking points when asking your legislators to support these bills.

See FAN’s Legislative Agenda for bills FAN is supporting this year and subscribe to our weekly E-News & Advocacy Alerts. You can also check out the Washington State Legislature website for great information about how to participate in the advocacy process.

*Additional Fact Sheets for the 2026 Legislative Agenda will be added here as they become available.*

PURSUE ECONOMIC JUSTICE AND ENSURE BASIC NEEDS

Support Progressive Revenue: To achieve vibrant communities and healthy ecosystems, we need a revenue system that is stable, equitable, and reflects what our economy is really like in the 21st century. We will be supporting the payroll expense tax to fund the Well Washington Fund (HB 2100 Scott/SB 6093 Saldaña) and the emerging millionaires’ tax.

CULTIVATE CLIMATE and ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE

Support full funding to the Wildfire Response, Forest Restoration, and Community Resilience Account at $125 million each biennium.

REFORM OUR CARCERAL SYSTEM & STRENGTHEN POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY

Fair Score Act: Allows people in total confinement to be resentenced if their original sentence was increased by juvenile convictions that are no longer counted under current law, creating a presumption in favor of resentencing. (HB 1274 Stearns/SB 5715 Kauffman)

Second Look Pathway for Youth: Expands second look mechanisms to people given life or long sentences before their 21st birthday through a review board. (HB 1317 Hackney)

AG Investigations and Reform Bill: Authorize the Attorney General to investigate systemic misconduct in law enforcement and corrections agencies. (HB 1056 Farivar/SB 5066 Hansen)
