Coalition Partners
The more common ground we can find together,
the more ground we can gain.
WashingtonCAN causes are, first and foremost, member-led and community driven. Not all work done by coalition partners may represent WashingtonCAN and our base, but we believe that we are stronger when we can overcome our differences, which allows us to cover issues in a more expansive and inclusive approach.

Working Washington
Working Washington is a statewide workers’ organization that fights to raise wages, improve labor standards, and change the conversation about wealth, inequality, and the value of work. Billionaires aren't going to support workers organizing to take on income inequality, and the government isn't going to pay for it either. So it's up to you.
