It’s time for state lawmakers to invest in low-income Washingtonians. As legislators work to finalize their budget, they should go beyond broad platitudes of racial equity and provide direct cash assistance to people struggling with poverty. This includes sizeable investments in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, finally funding the Working Families Tax Credit, exploring options for a Universal Basic Income (UBI), and funding another round of the Washington Immigrant Relief Fund. These investments are long-overdue steps toward addressing structural racism in Washington.
