Mothers Leading the Way to Healthcare For All in 2009

Check out some coverage from our March and Rally May 30th From Seattle's Central District to Westlake Center.


Washington CAN’s 2009 Legislative Agenda!

Skyrocketing health care costs are a key contributor to the economic crisis in our State and in our Nation. For those fortunate enough to have health insurance, excessive premiums devour family budgets. After meeting health needs, many have little left for other basic needs, and no discretionary income left to spend on the goods and services vital to a healthy economy. Reforming our critically ill health care system at both the state and national level is integral to our economic recovery.

Victory on Children’s Health Care!

Remember last year, when President Bush vetoed children's health care twice? Those days are over. On January 29th, the US Senate reauthorized the State Children's Health Insurance Program. Click here to learn more.

Secure Health Care Campaign

Our health care system is failing. We’re paying more and more, but you can’t count on coverage when you really need it. And while skyrocketing health care costs are leaving us behind, insurance company profits are on the rise. Enough is enough. We can and must do better. Click here to learn more.




Immigration Reform

Washington CAN supports national and state efforts to seek and achieve Comprehensive Immigration.
Comprehensive Immigration Reform should:

  • Provide a guaranteed Path to Citizenship
  • Protect all Workers
  • Reunite Families
  • Give access to our judicial system to all
We are working with several groups in our state and the nation to make sure that immigration reform follows these principles. For further details click here.
