Predatory and illegal practices by big Wall Street banks and corporations caused our economy to crash and triggered a worldwide recession. Yet, immigrants and workers are being blamed for the current economic crisis. In Washington State, immigrants, children, seniors, and workers are being asked to sacrifice more and more to solve our budget crisis, meanwhile corporations are being let off the hook. Our communities have already sacrificed more than $5 billion in cuts to health care, education, and other core services over the past 3 years. Corporations have not been subject to the same demand and they continue to receive $6.5 billion in tax giveaways each year. It’s time stand up for immigrant and worker rights and demand that corporations share the sacrifice.

The People’s Walk for Our Future is complete (on Monday, people arrived at the capitol greeted by 100+ community members) and now religious leaders are carrying the torch–faith leaders are fasting for a moral and just budget . 50 miles and over 100,000 steps later, lawmakers are finally starting to listen. Last week, 10 senators introduced a series of bills that would end specific tax breaks to fund education, health care, and essential state services. But we need to keep the pressure on our elected officials, particularly now as a special session is on the horizon, until cuts to outdated and unjust tax breaks are included in our final state budget.
