Washington Community Action Network, aka Washington CAN, is a grassroots lobbying organization in Washington. The former name was Washington Citizen Action. The name change took place in late 2006. With over 50,000 members, they are one of the largest consumer advocacy groups in the state. They lobby on a wide range of issues with the broad aim of bringing about greater economic justice in Washington state and within the United States of America.

The stated mission of Washington CAN "is to achieve economic fairness in order to establish a democratic society characterized by racial and social justice, with respect for diversity, and a decent quality of life for those who reside in Washington State."
