Please join us for our Legislative Day at the Capitol on Tuesday, February 14th from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. AARP’s Legislative Day will give you an opportunity to advocate for the protection of vulnerable adults from financial exploitation by bringing the perpetrators to justice. While financial exploitation can happen to anyone, older adults and people with disabilities are unfortunately targeted for this crime. Washington State Adult Protective Services data shows a 92% increase in the number of financial exploitation investigations from 2010 to 2015. With more than 10,000 people turning 65 every day for the next decade, the numbers will continue to rise. AARP Washington is supporting legislation to increase the criminal penalties for these heinous crimes.
We need your help in delivering signed petitions to legislators in Olympia to let them know this is a priority.
What: AARP Legislative Day at the Capitol Light breakfast, lunch and training will be provided.
Where: Olympia Capitol Campus – Columbia Room (1st Floor Main Legislative Building)) 416 Sid Snyder Avenue SW Olympia, WA 98504
When: Tuesday, February 14th 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

On Feb. 25, from 1-3 p.m., come show that Kitsap Builds Bridges Not Walls!
Join in a mass vigil of solidarity and justice as we form a bridge of humanity on the sidewalk of the 1572′ length of the Manette Bridge. We must not be passive bystanders in times like this when marginalized people are being targeted because of their religion, ethnicity, and nationality. We must speak out, stand, and act for anyone who is targeted. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Take a stand to show your support for our immigrant, refugee, and Muslim neighbors. Show that hate, intolerance, and bigotry have no place in Kitsap. From one end of the Manette Bridge to the other, show that Kitsap is a place of inclusion, respect, dignity, and justice.
Bring colorful signs, banners, prayer flags, pennants, and balloons. Bring your family! Come join in this community-wide celebration of diversity, inclusion, solidarity, and justice!
Newly elected Democratic Precinct Committee Officers (PCOs) and new Members are invited to join us for orientation. Katherine Woods, our past Chair, will present what a Precinct Committee Officer (PCO) does, some tools, and a suggested activity timeline. New members: a Precinct can often be over 1000 voters. There is a reason it says Precinct Committee. For us to be successful, every PCO could use some help.
